Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the olive oil, soy sauce and Sriracha sauce in a large bowl. Cut the tofu into small cubes and toss with the sauce. Set aside for 20 minutes. Spread the cubes in a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing the tofu halfway through. Whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, carrots and snow peas to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for another 2 minutes. Stir in the scallions and the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat. Cook the noodles according to the package directions and drain the extra water. Add the noodles and tofu to the vegetables and return the pan to medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot.

TOFU AND VEGETABLE LO MEIN
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.

Steps:
- Start with the tofu by cubing it into 1/2 cubes and drying the cubes between a dish cloth or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Heat up a skillet nice and hot with a little oil, cook tofu, shaking the pan often to keep them from sticking, on each side for about 5 - 6 minutes, or until golden and lightly crispy looking. Sprinkle with garlic powder and season with salt. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles according to package directions, set aside.
- In a small bowl whisk together the tamari (soy sauce), pure maple syrup/mirin, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar, and set aside. For a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add in the onion, stir fry for 3 minutes. Add garlic, carrots, and red bell pepper, stir-fry until al dente, about 4 minutes. Add the noodles and sauce, toss well to combine. Add the tofu and scallions, mix again.
- right away with bean sprouts and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- Serves 4
- leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 - 6 days. Or keep in the freezer for up to 3 months (defrost before heating).
- Lo mein can be reheated on the stovetop on low heat, until warmed through, adding extra sauce or veggie broth to bring back moisture as needed.

Tips:
- 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.

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