Ingredients

Scale
  • 14–16 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (like avocado or canola)
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) for the sauce
  • ½ cup water (or vegetable broth)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (or agave nectar)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz noodles (udon, soba, ramen, or spaghetti)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil for sautéing vegetables
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 4–5 green onions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1 cup edamame, shelled (fresh or frozen)
  • Toasted sesame seeds and extra sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into ¾-inch cubes.
  2. Toss the tofu with soy sauce and cornstarch, then heat a skillet over medium-high heat with neutral oil. Cook the tofu undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip to crisp all sides.
  3. Whisk together soy sauce, water or vegetable broth, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and optional red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  4. Add the sauce to the tofu in the skillet and simmer. Mix in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain, and toss with a bit of neutral oil.
  6. Sauté the broccoli and carrots in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, add the bell pepper and green onion whites for another minute.
  7. Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the tofu and teriyaki sauce. Stir well to combine and heat through.

Notes

  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables.
  • Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
