Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy pan on top for 15 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar in a bowl.
  2. Step 2: Cook 8 oz rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender but still firm; drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp minced ginger and 2 sliced scallions; stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add drained rice noodles, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss for 2 minutes until noodles are coated and heated through.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet and pour miso glaze over everything. Toss gently for 1 minute until sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly. Garnish with remaining sliced scallions before serving.
