Easy Noodle Soup with Tofu Knots & Fridge Raid-Toppings Recipe

Love a noodle soup, but want to make it satisfying without the meat? Tofu Knots are a super protein-rich topping for noodle soups that is not only super convenient but also vegan and gluten-free to suit almost all diets! Containing 45% protein these are so nutritious and filling you wont need many of these for a satisfying meal. 

Here the tofu knots are simply braised in umami-rich flavours to add some extra depth. You can also add these soft and silky tofu knots to broths, or serve them with rice for a simple dinner too. By simmering the tofu knots in this way, you get a really soft, unctuous texture similar to soft wanton pastry or handmade pasta – really delicate and delicious  - quickly taking in the simmering liquid.

For best results, tofu knots should be soaked in cold water for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, leave them overnight in the fridge in a sealed container of water to soak.
