Five Spice Tofu with Sesame Noodles image

Crispy tofu is tossed with a flavor-packed (and deceptively simple) sweet and savory five spice sauce and served over my favorite sesame noodles. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or easy meal prep!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound block of extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon five spice powder
toppings: toasted sesame seeds and thinly-sliced green onions
1 pound uncooked pasta noodles
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Slice the block of tofu into 1/2-inch slabs. Lay some paper towels or a clean tea towel on a flat surface, and place the slabs side by side on top of the paper towels. Cover with another layer of paper towels, then place a cutting board on top of the tofu, and stack a bunch of heavy cans or pots or whatever you can safely balance on the cutting board. Let the tofu drain for at least 15-30 minutes.
  • Whisk together the hoisin, rice vinegar and five spice powder until combined. Set aside.
  • Make the sesame noodles according to recipe instructions here.
  • Remove the paper towels and slice the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and sauté for 8-10 minutes, flipping and tossing the tofu every 2 or so minutes, until it is crispy and browned. Remove pan from heat, add hoisin sauce, and toss until combined.
  • Serve the sesame noodles topped with the tofu (plus any extra veggies you might like to add), sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and thinly-sliced green onions for garnish. Enjoy!!
