Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (14 ounces) of extra-firm tofu, pressed
- 8 ounces of noodles (such as spaghetti, udon, or soba)
- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)
- 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1/4 cup of sesame seeds, for garnish
- Optional: chopped green onions, and your favorite vegetables (such as broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots)
Instructions
- Marinate the tofu by pressing it, cutting it into cubes, and combining it with sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions and drain. Optionally toss with sesame oil.
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet and sauté the marinated tofu until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add any vegetables if desired.
- Combine the cooked noodles with the tofu and vegetables, mixing well. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- For extra crispy tofu, coat marinated tofu in a thin layer of cornstarch before cooking.
- A splash of lime juice can add a zesty flavor at the end.
- Adjust spice levels by adding more red pepper flakes or sriracha for extra heat.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of noodles.
