How to Make Dragon Bowl Sauce

  1. Cook udon noodles according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and miso (if using). Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add tofu and stir-fry until golden brown and slightly crispy (about 5 minutes). Remove from wok and set aside.
  5. Add garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Pour half of the sauce over the vegetables and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  8. Add cooked udon noodles and stir to combine.
  9. Return tofu to the wok and add remaining sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until sauce is thickened and coats all ingredients.
  10. Serve immediately over hot rice, garnished with sesame seeds (optional).
