How to Make Spicy Mongolian Noodles

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 cups) to a rolling boil.
  2. Add 8 ounces of dried noodles (your choice of egg noodles, ramen, or similar) and cook according to package directions, usually 8-10 minutes, until tender.
  3. Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  4. While the noodles cook, prepare the sauce: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Add 1/2 cup sliced onions and 1 cup sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  7. Stir in 2 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor), 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of chili garlic paste (adjust to your spice preference).
  8. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add 8 ounces of firm or extra-firm tofu, cubed, and 1 cup of chopped bok choy.
  9. Simmer for 2 minutes, until the tofu is heated through and the bok choy is slightly wilted.
  10. Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked noodles and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  11. Toss everything together until well combined.
  12. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro and sesame seeds (optional).
