30-MINUTE SPICY SAMBAL NOODLES WITH PAN-FRIED TOFU



30-Minute Spicy Sambal Noodles with Pan-Fried Tofu image

The amount of sambal oelek you want to use depends on your desired level of spice. If you can't handle much spice, I'd recommend 1 or 2 tablespoons of sambal oelek. If you like spice, use 3 to 4 tablespoons. Feel free to add more or less. You can also substitute the brown sugar with other types of sweeteners, such as coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey (if you're not vegan).

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

14 to 16 ounces super firm tofu (see note 1)
2 tablespoons safflower oil (see note 2)
pinch of kosher salt
10 ounces rice noodles
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
1 cup tomato sauce (can use crushed tomatoes or tomato puree)
3 to 4 tablespoons sambal ulek (sambal oelek)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
1/4 cup canned coconut milk
sliced scallions for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch slices. Then, cut them in half to get 2 smaller rectangles. Finally, take each rectangle and slice them diagonally to get small tofu triangles.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu to the pan. If all the tofu doesn't fit inside the pan, fry the tofu in 2 batches. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the tofu.
  • Pan fry the tofu for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. Then, flip over the tofu and pan fry the other side for another 3 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and leave the tofu in the pan and set aside.
  • While you pan fry the tofu, start cooking the noodles. In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to boil. Add the rice noodles and cook them according to the package directions (I cooked mine for 5 to 6 minutes). Stir the noodles frequently to keep them from sticking together. This is particularly important when you first add the noodles to the saucepan.
  • Once the noodles are cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water (see note 3).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes, until they soften. Next, add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the tomato sauce, sambal oelek, brown sugar, salt, and coriander (if using) to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cover the skillet with the lid, and let the sauce cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Uncover the skillet, add the coconut milk, and stir to combine.
  • Scoop out 1/3 cup of the sauce and toss it with the tofu.
  • Add the rice noodles to the remaining sauce and toss to coat the noodles with the sauce. Turn off the heat.
  • Serve the noodles with the tofu. Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired.
