🔪How To Make Gluten Free Ramen Noodles with Crispy Tofu
Preheat your air fryer to 425 degrees F.
Cut pressed and drained tofu into small, uniform cubes. Sprinkle the cubes with garlic powder and air fry for 10-15 minutes until crispy.
Meanwhile, prep all your vegetables by washing and chopping so they're ready to go!
In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add gluten-free ramen noodles, seasoning packet, shredded carrot, and mushrooms. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add baby bok choy and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until bok choy is tender.
Transfer noodles and veggies into two bowls. Top with air-fried crispy tofu, sliced green onions and a drizzle of Gojuchang for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and wholesome meal!
