Description

A delicious fusion of baked chili garlic tofu, carrots, chard, and noodles, perfectly balanced in flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 to 14 oz firm tofu (pressed for 15 minutes and sliced)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp sriracha (or another Asian chili-garlic sauce)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp miso
  • 1 cup or more veggies (sliced carrots, broccolini, etc.)
  • 8 oz vermicelli (or maifun rice noodles)
  • Couple of leaves of chard (hard stems removed and chopped)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and miso.
  3. Slice the pressed tofu and marinate it in the sauce for 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Arrange the tofu slices and chopped veggies on the baking sheet; drizzle with reserved marinade.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until tofu is crisp and veggies are tender.
  7. While baking, boil water and cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, adding chard during the last minute.
  8. Assemble bowls with noodles and top with roasted tofu and veggies; drizzle with extra marinade.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs or roasted nuts if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the tofu longer. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
