Preparation
Mix the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
Add in the water (start with 80g or 1/3 cup) and knead it into a dough by hand or using a mixer. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
When ready, divide the dough into 4 pieces or smaller portions for ease of handling. Roll each dough into a thin sheet and cut to your desired width.
Prepare the sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
For the toppings: Sauté tofu until golden brown then add in the rest of the ingredients, cook until fragrant and season accordingly.
Blanch veggies of choice in hot water and set aside.
Cook noodles for about 3 minutes, rinse in cold water, and put back into the hot water. Drain and toss the noodles with sauce and toppings.
Serve warm.
