Begin by pressing the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
In a heated pan, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegan mushroom oyster sauce, maple syrup, and white pepper powder. Mix well and set aside.
In a large pot, bring approximately 1 liter of water to a boil. Add the dried vegan noodles and a teaspoon of salt. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes, until al dente.
Drain the noodles and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan, followed by the sauce mixture prepared earlier.
Toss the noodles thoroughly in the sauce until evenly coated, then add the fried tofu cubes.
Stir in the bean sprouts and sliced green onions, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just to heat through.
Serve the Vegan Kolo Mee in bowls, garnished with fried shallots for added crunch.
Enjoy your vegan Kolo Mee hot, packed with savory flavors and fresh textures!
