General Ramen Tips
- 12
Tofu texture tip: Pressing tofu before cooking helps it become golden and absorb more flavor.
- 13
Vegetable tip: Cook vegetables until just tender so they still have texture instead of becoming mushy.
- 14
Broth tip: Add toppings at the end — sesame seeds, chili oil, and lime brighten the entire bowl.
- 15
Noodle tip: Cook ramen noodles separately if you prefer a clearer broth, since noodles release starch as they cook.
