Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Rice noodles
- 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
- 4 cups Bok choy
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15 minutes. Once pressed, cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Soak the rice noodles in hot water according to the package instructions until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, cornstarch, water, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Set aside the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the bok choy and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until it starts to wilt.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked rice noodles, tofu, and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together to evenly coat the ingredients in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
Enjoy your Rice Noodles with Tofu and Bok Choy!
