Add 2 cups of water
Switch to the “sear/sauté” function, liquid will quickly come to a boil
Add the Ramen Noodles, cook for 3 minutes
Carefully remove the pot from the Ninja Foodie

Notes
*Found at Trader Joe’s
Mushroom Tofu Ramen may also be made with an air fryer (for the tofu) and a pressure cooker (for the broth), the Ninja Foodie is not necessary. And if you do not have an air fryer you can bake the tofu in the oven (400°F for 30-35 minutes, flipping once half way through).
