Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block Extra-Firm Tofu (14–16 oz)
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Tamari for Gluten-Free)
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil (like Avocado or Canola)
- ½ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (or Tamari)
- ½ cup Water (or Vegetable Broth)
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup (or Agave Nectar)
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated or minced
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for slurry)
- 8 oz Noodles (Udon, soba, ramen, or spaghetti)
- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil (for vegetables)
- 1 large head Broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 medium Carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
- 4–5 Green Onions, sliced
- 1 cup Edamame (Shelled, fresh or frozen)
- Optional garnish: Toasted Sesame Seeds to taste
- Optional garnish: Extra Sliced Green Onions to taste
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into ¾-inch cubes and toss with soy sauce and cornstarch.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add neutral oil, and fry the tofu until golden and crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine low-sodium soy sauce, water or vegetable broth, maple syrup, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let simmer and prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water, adding it to thicken the sauce.
- Boil water in a pot and cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.
- In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of neutral oil and sauté broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper for about 5 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
- In a large bowl, toss together the cooked noodles, sautéed vegetables, and crispy tofu, then pour the teriyaki sauce over everything and toss well to coat.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Pressing the tofu well is essential for achieving a crispy texture. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
