Tofu Vegetable Lo Mein

Ingredients

  • 1 8-oz block of extra firm tofu (pressed & dry)
  • 4oz lo mein noodles
  • Sauce
  • 3 tbsp tamari / soy sauce
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp garlic chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha (optional)
  • salt to taste
  • Toppings
  • Bell Pepper Slices (roasted)
  • Spinach (sauted)
  • 2 chopped roasted peanuts
  • TOFU
  • Cut 1-8oz block of extra firm tofu (pressed and dry) into about 3/4-inch cubes and bake in oven on lined baking sheet 400F until golden and slightly crispy, about 20 minutes. At the same time bake some red pepper slices to use for toppings later
  • NOODLES
  • Cook 4oz wide Lo Mein noodles as per packet directions
  • SAUCE
  • Whisk all sauce ingredients
  • ASSEMBLY
  • Once tofu is ready, heat skillet and add sauce. Cook until sauce starts to bubble. Add baked tofu and 2 sliced scallions and keep stirring while heating. Quickly add cooked Lo Mein noodles and stir for another minute or so until heated through. Remove from heat and add cooked veggies of choice. (I added some blistered bell pepper and spinach.) Fold in 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts. Add a squeeze of fresh lime
  • Notes: To press tofu yourself, just put something heavy on top of it for ~15 minutes so that the water seeps out. This makes it able to crisp
