Instructions
- Mix the chili powder blend, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, Mexican oregano and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion, bell pepper, sliced mushrooms and cubed tofu. Cook until the tofu is golden around some edges, 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon or more of the mixed spices and toss well. Keep cooking until the onion is golden, 3-5 minutes.
- Remove half or more of the tofu and mushroom mixture and set it aside for topping.
- To the remaining mixture, add the ginger-garlic paste, tomato paste, the rest of the spice mix and the flour. Mix well. Add 1/2 cup of the water or vegetable stock and stir until the flour dissolves with no lumps.
- Cook for 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Add the salt, the remaining 4 1/2 cups water or vegetable stock and the orange juice. Mix well and bring to a rolling boil.
- Add the udon or ramen noodles and stir them in. Cook for 3-7 minutes, checking the noodles as you go, until they are cooked to your liking.
- Taste the broth and adjust the salt and tang as needed. Turn off the heat.
- To serve, ladle broth into a bowl, add noodles, top with the reserved tofu and mushroom mixture, then add the cilantro, green onion, red onion and lime wedges.
