vegan stir fry noodles
Ingredients
- Rice noodle8 oz
- Vegetable oil4 tsp
- Onion · sliced1
- Broccoli1 cup
- Bell pepper1
- Carrot1
- Garlic4–6 cloves
- Ginger · minced grated1 tsp
- Soy sauce3 tbsp
- Rice wine vinegar2 tbsp
- Brown sugar1 tbsp
- Toasted sesame oil½ tbsp
- Chili pepper · paste1 tbsp
- Cornstarch1 tsp
- Extra firm tofu1
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Scallion
- Sesame seed · toasted
- Chili crisp
Instructions
- Drain and press the tofu, then cut it into small cubes or strips.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the tofu in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Toss the tofu and cook about 1 more minute, then toss again. Repeat until most sides are golden. If it browns too fast or the pan smokes, lower the heat to medium.
- Remove the tofu to a plate and keep the same pan for the stir fry.
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions until slightly undercooked, as they will finish in the sauce. Rice noodles may only need soaking in hot water.
- While the noodles finish, mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the onion 1-2 minutes until slightly translucent.
- Add the broccoli and a small splash of water, cover, and steam about 3 minutes until almost tender. Add a splash more water if the pan dries out.
- Uncover, add the sliced red pepper and julienned carrot, and stir-fry 2-3 minutes until almost tender but still a little crisp if you like.
- Stir the sauce well, since the cornstarch settles, then pour it into the pan. Lower the heat slightly if it spatters.
- Add the noodles and tofu, toss to coat with the sauce, and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until the noodles are cooked through and the sauce thickens. If it is too dry, add 1 tablespoon water at a time.
- Taste and adjust with more soy sauce or salt. Serve topped with scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha or chili crisp.
