How to make Tofu Noodle Stir Fry
STEP 1:
Start with cooking the soba noodles in slightly salted water and prepare all the other ingredients in the meanwhile.
STEP 2:
When the soba noodles are done cooking, drain and rinse them in cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
STEP 3:
In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce and set aside. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
STEP 4:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat and fry the tofu cubes on all sides (carefully turning them with a spatula), until crispy and golden brown. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
STEP 5:
Heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil over medium heat and stir-fry the onions until soft.
STEP 6:
Add the carrots and cabbage and stir-fry until soft.
STEP 7:
Add the tofu with the sauce and continue to stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes.
STEP 8:
Reduce the heat to low and add the noodles. Toss until all the noodles are coated and stir-fry for 1 more minute.
STEP 9:
Top with sesame seeds and scallions.
