Ingredients
  • 1 pkg (350 g) firm tofu, drained and cut in 3⁄4-inch (2 cm) cubes
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 6 tsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 pkg (227 g) fresh shitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 cups bite-size broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Asian chili sauce, (such as sriracha)
  • 3 pkg (each 200 g) fresh Udon noodles
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
  1. Pat tofu dry and toss gently with cornstarch to coat. In a wok or large non-stick skillet, heat 4 teaspoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat; cook tofu, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
  2. In same wok, heat remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry mushrooms, garlic and ginger until mushrooms are beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli; stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili sauce and ¾ cup water; bring to boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low; add noodles, tossing gently to coat. Simmer, stirring gently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add tofu, green onions and sesame oil; cook, tossing to coat, for 1 minute.
