Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1-2 tsp Coconut Sugar or regular sugar
  • 1 tsp Vegetable Better than Bouillon
  • 1 tbsp Warm Water

Noodles

  • Big Handful of Spinach (see notes)
  • 1 ½ Bell Peppers, very thinly sliced
  • 8-10 Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 7 oz Sweet Potato Starch Noodles
  • ½-1 Block Extra Firm Tofu, crumbled see above for instructions on crumbling
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced
  • 1/4 Cup Scallions
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 8 oz Water + 1 tsp Vegetable Better Than Bouillon mixed

Instructions

Preparation

  • Mix all your sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
  • Place a small pot of water over medium heat. When the water is hot, add your spinach. Let the spinach wilt for a minute or two. Then remove the spinach. Allow it to cool for a minute and then squeeze the excess water from the spinach. Set aside.
  • Put your noodles in a bowl of lukewarm water and let them sit for 15 minutes. While you wait, begin slicing your vegetables and mincing the garlic and ginger. Set aside.
  • When the noodles are ready, remove them from the water and begin cutting them. Cut them into half their original length. Reserve 2 tsp of the sauce - pour the rest over the noodles. Mix the sauce into the noodles so the noodles are evenly coated.
  • Mix the remaining 2 tsp of sauce into the tofu crumbles. Set aside.

Cooking

  • Add sesame oil to a pot over medium heat. When oil is hot, add garlic, ginger and scallions. Let cook for a minute. Then add the coriander and stir well.
  • Add tofu and stir, then add vegetables and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the noodles and pour the water over. Cover the pot and let cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir the noodles - if they're too sticky add more liquid. If they become bland from adding more water, stir in a teaspoon more of bouillon. Let the noodles cook until they're a little firm but chewy - this should take no more than 5 minutes. The noodles should have a bounce to them when they're done.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
