Best 3 Tofu Egg Noodles In Coconut Sauce Recipes

EGG NOODLES WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Cook the noodles: boil 5 cups water with the salt and add the noodles. While they are boiling, separate them, with a large fork so that they cook evenly and don't stick together. Let them boil for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a colander and put them under cold running water until they are cool. Leave them in the colander to drain completely.
• Heat half the oil in a wok and stir-fry the shallots, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and tomatoes, and stir for 30 seconds.
• Add the cold noodles and keep turning and tossing them around until they are hot again. Remove the wok from the heat and cover it, so that the noodles stay warm.
• In another wok or frying pan, heat the remaining oil and add the chopped chilies and yellow bean sauce. Stir for 2 minutes. Raise the heat and add the lightly beaten eggs and scallions. With a wooden spoon, vigorously stir the mixture until the eggs are scrambled.
• Transfer the tofu mixture to the wok with the noodles. Heat together over a low heat, stirring and mixing so that everything is evenly hot. Serve at once.

SESAME TOFU WITH COCONUT-LIME DRESSING AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime zest and juice, sambal oelek and brown sugar until sugar dissolves completely. Slowly stream in the sesame oil and whisk until the mixture is emulsified and creamy. Taste and season with salt as needed; set aside. (You'll have 3/4 cup dressing. Save any extra in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
• Prepare the tofu: Pat the tofu dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. In a medium bowl, whisk together panko, sesame seeds and black pepper. Season the mixture generously with salt. In a second medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, dip the tofu slices one at a time in the egg whites and coat well. Transfer to the bowl with the panko mixture, coating well on all sides, then move to a clean plate. Repeat with remaining tofu slices.
• Line a large plate with paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium (10-inch) cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet over medium-low. Working in batches to avoid crowding, pan-fry the tofu until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (Don't overcook, or the sesame seeds will turn bitter.) Transfer the fried tofu slices to the prepared plate. Repeat with the remaining tofu, adding oil and wiping out the pan as needed.
• Prepare the spinach: Wipe out the skillet, and heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the shallot and sauté until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 seconds, taking care not to scorch the garlic. Add the spinach by the handful, increasing the heat after the first handful and allowing the greens to wilt before adding more. Sauté until wilted and most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes. Add the soy sauce and black pepper, and fold to coat well. Taste and add salt as needed. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Place spinach in a serving bowl. Add fried tofu on top, and drizzle with half of the coconut-lime dressing. Sprinkle the chives over the tofu, and serve immediately, with more dressing on the side.

TOFU EGG NOODLES IN COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir eggs and soy sauce together in a bowl. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat; pour in egg mixture and cook until firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Slide eggs onto work surface and cut into bite-size cubes.
• Heat sesame oil and canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tofu; cook until golden brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate. Add mushrooms and broccoli to skillet; cook until broccoli is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place cashews in a baking dish; cook in preheated oven, tossing occasionally to avoid burning, until toasted, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Place edamame in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and cook in the microwave until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles, bring back to a boil, and cook over medium heat until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Combine soy milk, peanut butter, coconut milk, and tahini together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until peanut butter and tahini have dissolved, 2 to 4 minutes. Add egg, tofu, mushroom and broccoli mixture, edamame, and egg noodles; toss to combine. Top with toasted cashews to serve.
