Ingredients
- 150 g bean thread noodles glass noodles
- 400 g tofu
- ½ white onion
- 1 thumb-size ginger piece
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ red bell pepper
- 150 g Napa cabbage
- 6 Shiitake mushrooms
- 2 carrots
- 3 scallions
- ½ tomato
- A handful fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
Savory Stir-fry Sauce
- 2 tablespoon vegan oyster sauce
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- ¼ stock cube
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Soak the noodles in hot water for about 3-4 minutes. Don't worry if they are still a bit al dente, they will finish cooking in the wok or pan. Drain and reserve.
- Prepare the stir-fry sauce by combining the vegan oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, stock, water, white pepper, and sugar. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined and reserve.
- Cut the tofu into cubes. Add some vegetable oil to a pan and pan-fry the tofu. Keep turning the tofu cubes until they are evenly cooked on all sides.
- Finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger.
- Cut the onion, napa cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and scallions into thin slices, and quarter the tomato.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a pan or wok to medium-high heat and stir-fry the vegetables, reserving the spring onions for later. Keep stirring to make sure they are cooking evenly. You want the veggies to be cooked while keeping a bit of a crunch.
- Add the noodles to the pan or wok, the stir-fry sauce, pan-fried tofu, and spring onions. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add chopped cilantro, optionally some chili flakes or hot sauce, and drizzle some lime juice.
- Serve and enjoy.
