Ingredients

7 oz. extra firm tofu ($0.90)

1 cup water ($0.00)

2 cups vegetable broth* ($0.26)

2 Tbsp gochujang ($0.46)

1 package instant ramen* ($0.19)

1 Drain the tofu and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.

2 Add the water, vegetable broth, and gochujang to a small sauce pot. Whisk until the gochujang is dissolved.

3 Bring to a boil

4 Add the cubed tofu to the pot, place a lid on top, and bring it up to a boil over high heat.

5 Add noodles

6 Once boiling, add the instant ramen noodles (without seasoning). Boil for one to two minutes, or just until the noodles begin to soften and pull loose from each other.

7 Add spinach
