Mapo Tofu Ramen is a fusion of Mapo Tofu and Ramen. It is a ramen noodle with mapo tofu as soup. It’s a bit spicy and soup is slightly tick, so it won’t get cool off so easy. Therefore, this dish helps warm you up during cold winters. If you skip adding the water-potato starch mixture to thicken the sauce, the noodles will tangle easier. The sauce works well with udon, ramen, or any noodles really.

Once the meat is cooked, mix in the miso, sugar, soy sauce, doubanjiang paste, chicken broth, and 200ml of water, and bring it to a boil.
In the meantime, the tofu should be diced and added in as well.

Once done, strain the noodles and set aside for now.
