How to Make Chinese Noodle Vegetable Bowl
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and broccoli slaw. Cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente and slaw is tender (about 3 minutes).
- Drain the noodles and slaw, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- While the noodles cook, press the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Place another towel or paper towels on top and place a heavy object (like books or a cast iron skillet) on top for 10-15 minutes to press out excess water. This step is crucial for crispy tofu!
- Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Add the sliced scallions and minced ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shiitake mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for 3 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and soy sauce. Add the cooked tofu and season with black pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of water and the cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked noodles and broccoli slaw to the pan and gently toss to coat everything in the delicious sauce.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the finished bowl and season with extra salt to taste if needed.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chinese Noodle Vegetable Bowl!
