To make the sesame base, combine the tahini with miso, sesame oil, soy sauce, chilli crisp + 1 tbsp plant milk. I like adding the juice of a lime, 1 minced garlic clove + a squeeze of agave here. Whisk until a smooth, creamy paste forms. Season to taste. 2. In a saucepan, crumble your stock cube + add the boiling water. Add the rest of the milk + bring to a simmer. 3. Begin whisking, then as you whisk slowly pour in your sesame base until combined. Season the broth to taste, then leave to simmer on a low heat, adding more water for more broth (season accordingly). 4. For the tofu, crumble into mince, then season with soy, garlic, ginger, chilli crisp + red pepper flakes. Fry in hot oil until crispy (around 10 min). 5. For the corn + broccoli, simply boil until tender. Toss with sesame oil + anything else you like! 6. Cook your noodles, then get into bowls. Ladle the broth on top, on with your toppings + garnishes - then enjoy! #ramen #tantanmen #noodlesoup #soup #soupseason #comfortfood - @alfiecooks_
