INGREDIENTS

  • Tofu and Protein

    • 🧈 1 (12 ounce) package tofu, drained and cubed
    • 🥚 1 egg (Optional)

  • Seasonings and Sauces

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 💧 ¼ cup water
    • ¼ cup sriracha hot sauce
    • ¼ cup soy sauce
    • 🍬 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 ½ onion, sliced
    • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions

  • Garnishes

    • 🥜 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
    • 🍋 1 lime, cut into wedges

  • Staples

    • 8 ounces dry rice stick noodles
    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

STEPS

1

Coat tofu with cornstarch in a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; fry tofu until lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

2

Place noodles in a bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover; soak until softened, about 3 minutes. Drain.

3

Combine water, sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, tamarind concentrate, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir sauce until flavors blend, about 5 minutes.

4

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu, noodles, and sliced onion; cook and stir until tofu is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in sauce gradually until noodles are well-coated.

5

Push noodle mixture to one side of the wok. Crack egg onto opposite side of wok; stir until beginning to set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir egg into noodles gently.

6

Garnish with green onions, peanuts, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
