Steps:
- Cook the tofu: Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the skillet from the heat and quickly (and carefully!) add the tofu in a single layer. Return the skillet to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the tofu is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove the tofu to a plate. Add the coriander seeds and toast for 15 seconds. Add the ground pork in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and the red pepper flakes and brown over medium-high heat until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the pork to the tofu.
- Cook the vegetables: Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Stir in the garlic and scallions and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the snow peas and peppers and cook until they become tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, ginger and lemon zest and juice. Simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning.
- Finish: Add the pork and tofu back to the skillet and gently stir to reheat and combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and add the vinegar and additional soy sauce to taste.
SOBA, TOFU, AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
This spicy stir-fry dish is packed with veggies; covering them while cooking helps trap the steam so they cook more quickly. We used almond butter instead of peanut, for a twist.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the greens. Cook the greens 1 to 2 minutes, until just tender, and transfer with a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out the water (you don't have to squeeze them completely dry). Chop coarsely.
- Cook the noodles. Bring the water in the pot back to a boil, add the noodles, and stir to separate the strands. Add a couple of tablespoons cold water, just so the water doesn't boil over. Boil somen noodles for two minutes, rice vermicelli for five to seven minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place in a bowl of cold water, then drain and toss with the sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat until hot enough to evaporate a drop of water on contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, swirl to coat the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the pork, and stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the meat is cooked through and there are no longer any traces of pink.
- Add the remaining oil, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant and beginning to color, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the greens, noodles, soy sauce and stock or water. Stir together until heated through, and serve.

Steps:
- Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender but still firm to bite. Drain well, then return to pot.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle pork with salt, pepper, and five-spice powder. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, and vinegar; stir 30 seconds.
- Add pork, green onions, and radishes to noodles and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for firm tofu, crisp vegetables, and tender pork.
- Cut the ingredients into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Also, make sure to cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces so they are easy to eat.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices will help tenderize it and add flavor.
- Cook the ingredients in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the stir-fry. Cook the ingredients in batches to prevent them from steaming instead of frying.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the ingredients from sticking. If you don't have a wok, a large skillet will work just fine.
- Stir-fry over high heat: Stir-frying over high heat will help create a crispy, flavorful crust on the ingredients.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help prevent it from burning.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the ingredients are still crisp and flavorful.
