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!

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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!!
