Instructions
Prepare Flavored Tofu (Skip this is not adding tofu to your noodles)
Step 1
Take tofu out of the box and wrap it in couple of paper towels for anywhere from 30-40 minutes. Place a Weight on the wrapped tofu. Your weight should be heavy enough to press down evenly across the top of the tofu, but not so heavy so as to cause the tofu block to crumble.
Step 2
Once the extra water if gone from the tofu, cut them in long stripes or cube and saute them in 3 tbsp of oil on medium heat until they get golden brown and somewhat crispy, tossing and turning them every few minutes. Be careful while tossing and turning so it does not crumble.
Step 3
Once tofu stripes/cubes are golden brown on each side, add dark soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup, salt and black pepper powder. Mix well and keep it aside.
Make Noodles
Step 4
Prepare noodles as per package instructions. If using the same brand as I have linked, boil water with 1 tsp of oil and 1 tbsp of oil. Once the water is boiling, add uncooked noodles to the boiling water. Using fork, slowly loosen up the noodles in the water without breaking them. Cook them on boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain it in a strainer and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. Keep them in the strainer and drizzle 1 tbsp of oil to cold cooked noodles to prevent them from sticking with each other. Let the water drain out completely.
Step 5
Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a wok or deep wide heavy bottom pan.
Step 6
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped white part of green onions and chopped serrano/jalapeno to the oil
Step 7
Saute on medium heat till the raw smell of garlic goes away. Do no burn/brown it.
Step 8
Add sliced onions and carrot. Cook them on high heat for couple of minutes, keeping them crunchy and some what charred.
Step 9
Add sliced green peppers and cabbage. Cook them on high heat for couple of minutes, keeping them crunchy and some what charred.
Step 10
Add dark soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup, salt, chaat masala and black pepper powder. Mix well.
Step 11
Add cooked noodles and toss them with saucy veggies using couple of forks.
Step 12
Once noodles are all mixed well with the veggies and coated evenly with sauces, take it off the stove.
Step 13
Add fresh cilantro, scallions and prepared tofu (if using any). Toss everything well without making it mushy.
Step 14
Serve them hot!
