Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat noodles
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 150 grams Kimchi
- 100 grams Edamame, shelled
- 100 grams Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into small cubes once drained.
Prepare the whole wheat noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the tofu. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the kimchi and edamame, and continue cooking for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Toss everything well to combine and heat evenly. Add in baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Adjust seasoning by adding chili flakes if extra spice is desired. Taste and adjust the soy sauce if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
