Stir-Fried Udon with Flavored Tofu


Stir-Fried Udon with Flavored Tofu
January, 2003

Serves 6 / Stir-fried udon is one of the most enjoyed dishes in Japanese cuisine. My version is vegetarian, but you can always substitute your choice of meat for the tofu.

1/2 pound udon noodles, fresh or dry
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
8 ounces flavored baked tofu, julienned
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1/2 cup snow peas, fresh or frozen
1-1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
6 green onions, cut diagonally into 2-inch-long slices
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. Heat a nonstick wok or large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Add ginger and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and tofu and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
3. Add carrots and snow peas. Stir-fry for 1 minute or until carrots soften. Mix in noodles, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and green onions. Stir occasionally until noodles are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in sesame oil. Toss to combine. Serve warm.
