How to Make Crispy Tofu With Noodles

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
  2. Add 8 oz udon noodles and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon canola oil.
  3. While noodles cook, place 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in a large resealable bag. Crush into fine crumbs.
  4. In a shallow bowl, gently toss 14 oz extra-firm tofu (pressed and cubed) with 1 large egg yolk.
  5. Transfer tofu to the bag with panko breadcrumbs and coat evenly.
  6. Heat ½ cup canola oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering (almost smoking).
  7. Add the coated tofu and stir-fry until golden brown and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Pour off all but ¼ cup of oil from the wok.
  9. Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  10. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 8 oz bok choy (chopped) and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  11. Add the cooked udon noodles, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  12. Add the crispy tofu and toss to combine.
  13. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish as desired. Serve immediately with a chilled white Rhône wine.
