Number Of Ingredients 24

The Sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tamari
3 tablespoons hoisin or oyster sauce
1/4 cup stock or water
1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro plus long, pretty sprigs for garnish
Noodles and Tofu:
One 8- to 10-ounce package Chinese wide-cut egg noodles
1 carton firm tofu, drained and cut into large cubes
2 1/2 tablespoons roasted peanut oil
1 heaping tablespoon chopped ginger
1 heaping tablespoon chopped garlic
1 jalapeƱo chile, seeded and diced
2 chunks baked tofu, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
6 shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, thinly sliced
1 large broccoli, the head cut into florets, the stem peeled and sliced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into narrow strips, then halved
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
Salt
4 ounces snow peas, trimmed
1 bunch scallions, including the firm greens, cut into 1-inch lengths

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • 2. Bring a pot of water to boil for the noodles and tofu. Reduce it to a simmer, add the cubed tofu and simmer gently for 4 minutes. Lift out the tofu with a strainer and set aside. Return the water to a boil, add the noodles and cook until tender-firm, following the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil and set aside.
  • 3. Set a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the remaining oil, swirl it around. When hot, add the ginger, garlic, chile, and baked tofu. Stir-fry around. When hot, add the ginger, garlic, chile, and baked tofu. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add onion, mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Season with a few pinches of salt and stir-fry, rapidly tossing the vegetables in their pan, for 3 minutes.
  • 4. Now add the snow peas, scallions, and boiled tofu. Stir-fry for 1 minute more, then add the noodles and the sauce. Reduce the heat, toss so that everything is evenly mingled, then cover and cook until the noodles are heated through, a matter of just a few minutes. Turn onto a large platter and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.
