Ingredients

  • 14 ounces noodles

For the sauce:

  • ⅓ cup soy sauce or tamari (preferably low sodium)
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 ½ teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili garlic sauce

Other ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons sesame or neutral cooking oil plus more as needed
  • 14 to 16 ounces extra-firm tofu pressed, crumbled into ground-meat-size pieces
  • 2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 5 large garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ cup chopped scallions green and white parts
  • Hot chili oil for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the noodles as per packet directions. Set aside.
  • For the Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, maple syrup, and chili garlic sauce. Set aside.
  • Cook Tofu: Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for about 7 minutes, or until dark golden brown. Add the tamari and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Aromatics: Move the tofu to the side of the skillet and add the garlic and scallions. (Add more oil as needed.) Cook for 1 minute.
  • Combine: Add the sauce, and the desired quantity of noodles. Mix to combine. Cook until warmed through.
  • Optional for serving: Add hot chili oil to taste.

Notes

  • Noodles: Most types will work in this recipe.
  • Tofu - use extra firm or super firm tofu. Super firm tofu is pre-pressed.
  • For non-spicy, omit the sriracha and hot chili oil.
