Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14-16 oz / 400-450g) block Extra-Firm Tofu, pressed and cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil (like Avocado or Canola)
- ½ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (or Tamari)
- ½ cup Water (or Vegetable Broth)
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup (or Agave Nectar)
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)
- 8 oz (225g) Noodles (Udon, soba, ramen, or spaghetti)
- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil for sautéing
- 1 large head Broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and julienned
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 4–5 Green Onions, thinly sliced with whites and greens separated
- 1 cup Edamame (shelled, fresh or frozen)
- Optional: Toasted sesame seeds and extra sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into ¾-inch cubes. Toss with soy sauce and sprinkle with cornstarch to coat.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, water, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Heat over medium until simmering.
- In a bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry, then gradually stir it into the simmering sauce and let bubble until thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil and toss in broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and the whites of the green onions. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then add them to the skillet with the vegetables, along with the crispy tofu and teriyaki sauce. Toss to combine.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with green onion greens and sesame seeds.
Notes
Adjust sweetness of the teriyaki sauce by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
