Cooking Ramen
- I used Millet and Brown Rice Ramen Noodles from Lotus Foods for this recipe. Bring about 4-5 cups of water to a boil and add the Ramen cakes. After about 1 minute, start separating the noodles gently with a fork and reduce heat to low. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the noodles are just soft. Strain and rinse with cold water to avoid sticking.
Magical Saute
- In a wok on medium heat, add the sesame oil, stir in the cubed sweet potatoes. Add half of the salt and then stir in the cubed tofu. Saute for about 2 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, vinegar and garlic powder. Stir for about 1 minute, taking care not to break the tofu pieces.
- Add in the chopped chilli pepper and strained peas. Add 3/4 cup hot water and a quick taste test for salt.
