Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press tofu for 15 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Pat dry and toss with 1 tbsp sesame oil.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add tofu and cook 5-6 minutes until golden on all sides; remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Whisk miso paste, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and 2 tbsp water until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Cut carrots into matchsticks and bell pepper into thin strips. Steam broccoli for 3 minutes until bright green.
  5. Step 5: Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  6. Step 6: Heat 1 tsp oil in the same skillet. Add carrots and bell pepper, stir-frying for 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Add steamed broccoli and noodles, then pour miso glaze over. Toss until sauce thickens and coats noodles (about 2 minutes).
  7. Step 7: Return tofu to skillet and toss to coat. Top with sliced green onions.
