Method
 

Method: Sriracha Noodles with Tofu
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime juice, water, Sriracha sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside – this will be the flavorful sauce that brings everything together.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cubed tofu. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Once browned, remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the shredded carrots, green cabbage, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  4. Add the cooked Asian-style noodles and the prepared sauce to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well-coated in the sauce.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked tofu and the green parts of the green onions. Allow everything to heat through for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve the Sriracha Noodles with Tofu hot, garnished with lime wedges and additional Sriracha sauce for those who love an extra kick. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures!

Notes

  • Ensure tofu is well-pressed to remove excess moisture for better browning.
  • Customize with different vegetables or adjust spice levels to your liking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
