Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 red jalapeno pepper, halved and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained, cut into 4 equal pieces and patted dry
8 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms (about 4 cups)
Freshly ground pepper
1 10- to 12-ounce package Chinese egg noodles
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 cups bean sprouts
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

Whisk the vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the jalapeno; set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side; transfer to a cutting board. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms soften, about 2 minutes. Quarter each piece of tofu and transfer to a bowl; add the mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar mixture and toss. Set aside.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, adding the broccolini during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer to a large bowl. Add the sesame oil; toss to coat.
Divide the noodles and broccolini among bowls. Top with the tofu, mushrooms and sprouts and drizzle with the remaining jalapeno-vinegar mixture. Sprinkle with the scallions.

CREAMY VEGAN TOFU NOODLES

Creamy Vegan Tofu Noodles image

There is no need to reserve this recipe exclusively for vegans: This noodle dish will win over any crowd, regardless of dietary dispositions. Here, tofu is blended with garlic, five-spice powder and water for a creamy yet weightless sauce that wraps around each noodle. The same technique can be used to create a lush dairy-free pasta sauce (just add nutritional yeast and fresh herbs) or a ranch-like dip (blitz silken tofu with garlic, onion powder and herbs). For this recipe, be sure to use firm tofu, as it has more body and makes for a heartier sauce. The creamy noodles provide the perfect backdrop for the spicy, punchy black vinegar sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
12 ounces thick Chinese wheat noodles
1 (14-ounce) package firm tofu, broken into pieces
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems, plus a few sprigs for serving
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish
2 tablespoons Chinkiang vinegar (black vinegar), or a combination of 4 teaspoons rice wine vinegar plus 2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon chile oil or chile crisp, such as Chiu Chow chile oil
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

Steps:

Prepare the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until the noodles are just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again.
As noodles cook, prepare the topping: Add vinegar, soy sauce, chile oil, scallion, ginger and 1 tablespoon water to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Place the tofu, garlic, sugar, five-spice and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a blender or food processor and blend, adding about 6 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. (You may need up to 12 tablespoons of water, depending on your tofu.)
Place the noodles in a large bowl and pour the tofu sauce on top. Add the cilantro and sesame oil, and toss until coated.
To serve, divide the noodles among bowls. Top with the spicy soy-vinegar sauce, sesame seeds and cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

Soak the tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
Use a firm or extra-firm tofu. This type of tofu will hold its shape better when cooked.
Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove even more moisture and make the tofu crispier.
Use a variety of vegetables in your noodle dish. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Serve the noodle dish immediately. This will ensure that the noodles are at their best.

Conclusion:

Turmeric tofu noodles is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover tofu, and it is also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The turmeric in the dish gives it a beautiful yellow color and a slightly spicy flavor. This dish can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
