Mapo Tofu Ramen (Mabo Ramen)

Ramen noodle with mapo tofu soup in a green bowl

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.
