    AuthorHannah

    [cooked-sharing]

    Yields2 Servings
    Prep Time15 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time25 mins
     8 oz wide rice noodles*
     7 oz firm tofu, pressed to dry and cut into small blocks
     2 tablespoon cooking oil
     3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
     ½ medium onion or 1 shallot, thinly sliced
     1 scallion, sliced into 3 inch strips
     3 red bird eye chillies, seeds removed and sliced into thin rings
     5 pieces baby corn, chopped into thirds (optional)
     ½ red bell pepper, sliced
     1 cup broccoli or other vegetable
     1 cup packed Thai/holy basil leaves
    Sauce
     2 tablespoon sweet black soy sauce**
     1.50 tablespoon vegetarian oyster sauce
     2 tablespoon Golden Mountain sauce***
     1 teaspoon sugar or maple syrup
     1 teaspoon thai chili paste (sub sriracha)
    1

    To make sauce, whisk together ingredients in a small bowl.

    2

    Prepare noodles according to package instructions— this should involve soaking noodles in hot water until al dente (do not cook).

    3

    In a deep pan or wok, fry tofu in a bit of oil until browned. Set aside.

    4

    Heat remaining oil in the pan, and add in garlic, shallot/onion, and peppers, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Add in scallions, baby corn, and broccoli, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

    5

    Add the rice noodles, tofu, and the sauce (you might need to add some water at this point if the pan is too dry). Stir well until everything is incorporated.

    6

    Turn off the heat and add in the basil leaves, until they are barely wilted. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.

    Notes
    • *For best results, use fresh rice noodles (found in any Asian grocery store). If you don't have access to fresh noodles, dried rice sticks/noodles also work as well.
    • **Thai soy sauce is thick, sweet, and not very salty. You can sub equal parts molasses and soy sauce for this.
    • ***This is essential for the flavor-- it mimics the taste of fish sauce.
