Make

Heat a nonstick pan with first part of cooking oil over medium heat. Add tofu and sear on all sides until golden brown, ~8 minutes. Set tofu aside and return pan to heat.
Add second part of oil to heated pan. Add shallots and bok choy stems and saute until tender. Add bok choy leaves and saute for 1 minute more. Give sauce a stir. Add tofu and sauce to pan. Simmer for 1 minute to let sauce thicken and flavor ingredients.
Fold in noodles until everything is well combined and noodles are warmed through.
Divide tofu noodles between serving bowls. Finish bowls with sesame seeds sprinkled on top and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over top. Add some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
