Low-FODMAP miso ramen
This vegan miso ramen is an easy low-FODMAP meal. Ready in less than 30 minutes, it鈥檚 great for a quick dinner or lunch. The miso has an umami taste which complements the crunchy pak choi.
The green part of spring onions are low FODMAP, but make sure you don't use the white part. Ensure the tofu is firm or extra firm as the water-soluble fructans have been drained away. Don't use soft tofu on a low-FODMAP diet.

Method
Heat the oil in a wok over a medium heat. Fry the chilli and ginger for 2 minutes. Add the tofu, tamari, miso, lime juice, mushrooms and a splash of water and fry for 5 minutes over a high heat. Add 1.5 litres/2 pints just-boiled water and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the green spring onion stalks and taste, adding a dash more chilli, ginger or salt if needed.
Add the noodles and cook according to the packet instructions.
Divide the pak choi between two bowls, with the green tips poking out of the top. Ladle in the noodles and miso soup, then garnish with carrot, chilli, a sprinkle of spring onion green tips and a sprig of coriander.
Recipe Tips
Shimeji are small mushrooms that tend to grow in clumps; separate them by slicing across the base of the stalks.
