Prep

  1. Tofu - If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first. Then chop into 0.5” / 1.25 cm cubes. (Can be done up 1 day ahead)
  2. Garlic / Shiitakes / Bok choy / Green onions - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
  3. Boil noodles - This makes enough for tomorrow’s dinner. Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to packaged instructions. Soba noodles don’t take long to cook, so keep an eye out. After draining, spread noodles out onto a sheet pan which will keep them from sticking. Reserve 1/4 for tomorrow’s dinner.
  4. Make sauce - Mix together garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar, water, and first part of corn starch.

Make

  1. Toss tofu with second part of corn starch. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add first part of cooking oil. Add tofu to heated oil and saute until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Return pan back to medium-high heat. Add second part of cooking oil and then shiitakes to the pan. Saute mushrooms for ~2 minutes before adding bok choy and returning tofu to the pan.
  3. Push everything to the side forming a donut in the middle. Pour in sauce; once it bubbles, add noodles (remember to reserve 1/4 for tomorrow night) and toss everything through.
  4. Finish with green onions and lime juice. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Enjoy!
