Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on all sides, flipping once.
  2. Step 2: While tofu cooks, mince 3 garlic cloves and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger. Add them to the skillet with tofu and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups snow peas to the skillet and toss for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil, then stir until sauce bubbles and coats ingredients.
  4. Step 4: Cook 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until al dente, then add directly to the skillet. Toss vigorously for 1 minute until noodles are coated and heated through. Sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
