Make

  1. Toss tofu with cornstarch (portion for the stir-fry) and some salt. 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. Add bok choy and saute for 2 minutes more.
  3. Push everything to the side forming a donut in the middle. Pour in sauce; once it bubbles, add noodles and tofu and toss everything to combine.
  4. Serve stir-fry with lime wedges and green onions on top. Finish with some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
