Equipment
Ingredients
Stir Fry Sesame Garlic Sauce
- 2/3 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For the Noodles
- 8 ounces udon noodles
- 8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- sesame seeds, for garnish
- thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Instructions
Make the Stir Fry Sauce
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the stir fry sauce and set aside.
Cook the Noodles
- Bring a pot of boiled water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions, then tDrain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Make the Tofu
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the teaspoon of oil, then crumble in the tofu and cook until very dry, chewy and golden brown, stirring often. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved stir-fry sauce and cook for another minute or two, until the tofu is well coated and sauce has thickened around the tofu. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Combine
- Add the remaining sauce to the empty sauce pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning, until the sauce is bubbly and thickened.
- Add in the cooked noodles, tofu and spinach. Toss, cooking another minute or two until the spiinahas wilted and everything is warmed through. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.
- Divide between two bowls (this makes two large servings, but so good and my husband and I easily eat it as a serving!) and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions, if desired.
