Instructions

Vegan Fish Sauce

Drunken Sauce

  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

The Stir Fry

  • Cook the Udon noodles per package instructions and set aside.
  • Prepare your tofu by slicing into 5 slabs, wrapping in a towel and placing under some weight.  Let sit for about 10 minutes.  Cut the slabs into small cubes.  Place the cubes in a bowl and pour 3 T of soy sauce over them and let sit until the soy sauce has been infused into the tofu.  Coat with a very light coating of corn starch and set aside.
  • Place 1 T of peanut oil in your wok and turn to high.  I like to cook my tofu first.  Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown.  Remove and set aside.
  • Place the remaining peanut oil and the sesame oil in your wok, turn to high.  Start by adding the garlic and green onions and cook for 2 minutes.  Next add the cauliflower and the red pepper.  Cook for 3 minutes. Add the broccoli and the snow peas and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.  You want the veggies cooked, but still crisp.  Now add the cooked tofu and mix all together.
  • Add the cooked Udon noodles and the Drunken Sauce and mix to incorporate everything together.
  • Serve with the bean sprouts, salt and pepper as needed.
