Method of preparing the Gochujang Ramen with Tofu:
  1. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. In a small saucepan, add the gochujang, vegetable broth, and water. Whisk properly, making sure that the gochujang is dissolved.
  2. Add the cubed tofu to the pot and place a lid on top. Bring it up to a boil over high heat. As it begins to boil, add the instant ramen noodles. Boil for two minutes until the noodles begin to soften. Now, add 2 cups of fresh spinach and stir it into the hot broth. While the spinach wilts, the noodles will finish cooking.
