Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound firm tofu
8 ounces udon, soba, Chinese wheat noodles, or linguine
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 large broccoli crowns, cut into bite-size pieces
1/3 cup good-quality stir-fry sauce or 1/2 cup Thai peanut sauce, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Blot well between several layers of paper towel or clean tea-towels, then cut into 1/2-inch dice.

    Step 2

    Cook the noodles according to package directions and drain.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a stir-fry pan, wok, or extra-large skillet. Add the tofu and stir-fry over medium-high heat until golden on most sides; transfer to a plate.

    Step 4

    Combine the broccoli and about 1/4 cup of water in the stir-fry pan. Cover and steam until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

    Step 5

    Add the tofu and cooked noodles to the pan along with the stir-fry sauce. Toss gently and thoroughly. Continue to cook just until everything is heated through, and serve.
