Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) package tofu, drained and cubed

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 8 ounces dry rice stick noodles

Sauce:

  • ¼ cup water

  • ¼ cup sriracha hot sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • ½ onion, sliced

  • 1 egg (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions

  • 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Coat tofu with cornstarch in a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; fry tofu until lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

  2. Place noodles in a bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover; soak until softened, about 3 minutes. Drain.

  3. Combine water, sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, tamarind concentrate, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir sauce until flavors blend, about 5 minutes.

  4. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu, noodles, and sliced onion; cook and stir until tofu is golden brown; about 3 minutes. Stir in sauce gradually until noodles are well-coated.

  5. Push noodle mixture to one side of the wok. Crack egg onto opposite side of wok; stir until beginning to set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir egg into noodles gently. Garnish with green onions, peanuts, and lime wedges.
