Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fry

Instructions

Place tofu between paper towels and press with a heavy weight, like a cast iron skillet. (Or use a tofu press.) The longer it’s pressed, the better. When most of the moisture is removed, slice tofu into cubes.

In a mixing bowl, add baking soda, Shaoxing wine, water, soy sauce, and five-spice powder and toss the tofu in it, evenly distributing the marinade. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles for 3 minutes and drain.

Heat a large sauté pan or wok on high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir fry cabbage. carrots, zucchini, and peppers for 3 minutes, stirring consistently so it doesn’t brown or burn. Set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and sear the tofu until golden brown. Add bouillon cube, oyster sauce, pepper, and water (per bouillon package instructions) and cook for 2 minutes. Add the noodles and vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes.

Serve immediately with garnishes.
