Additonal notes

“An incredibly easy healthy vegan ramen, I call it ‘cheats ramen’ because it’s SOO EASY! All you need is one pot, some vegetable stock, and a few veggies some sauces and you have it! It’s oil-free, healthy, satisfying, and comes out in minutes! The tofu is absolutely optional in this recipe – some people don’t like tofu so it’s perfectly fine to just add more veggies and leave the tofu on the side.”
