TOFU AND VEGETABLE LO MEIN



Tofu and Vegetable Lo Mein image

This dish has all the umami-rich and crisp-tender qualities we love about classic takeout and none of the greasy, sodium-bomb qualities we don't. Wavy, deep yellow Chinese egg noodles can be found in the refrigerated section of any Asian market and many supermarkets. You can substitute any refrigerated fresh pasta or even brown rice noodles, just make sure to boil until just al dente. Sliced baby bok choy, carrots, and snap peas would also be delicious here-just remember to add the vegetables in stages, going from hard and dense to leafy and tender-so all can cook to the perfect doneness.

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
6 ounces refrigerated fresh linguine or fresh Chinese egg noodles

1 1/2 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage (from 1 cabbage)
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed

  • Use extra-firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape better during cooking and absorbs the sauce more easily.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This helps to remove excess water, resulting in a firmer tofu with a better texture.
  • Marinate the tofu. Marinating the tofu in a flavorful sauce before cooking adds extra flavor and depth.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute any vegetables you like.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.

Conclusion:

Spicy Tofu and Vegetable Lo Mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
