CRISPY SHEET-PAN NOODLES WITH GLAZED TOFU



Crispy Sheet-Pan Noodles With Glazed Tofu image

Contrasting textures are a signature characteristic of Cantonese chow mein, in which crispy fried strands tangle with tender noodles. Here, that is achieved with the help of a sheet pan and an intensely hot oven. To ensure optimal crunch, start with the pan on the bottom rack to crisp the underside of the noodles, then move it up to the highest to encourage crackly noodles on top, too. Instant ramen noodles are the perfect choice for this recipe because they crisp up flawlessly; just soak them in boiling hot water to loosen them up before sliding them into the oven. The hoisin-marinated tofu is subtly sweet and carries a lot of the flavor in this noodle dish. Quick cooking baby bok choy adds freshness, but you could also use leftover vegetables or seasonal produce.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 blocks instant ramen noodles (about 9 ounces), flavor packets discarded
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, patted dry and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
3 baby bok choy, trimmed and sliced vertically into 4 pieces
Handful of cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons hoisin
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 garlic clove, grated
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place one rack on the top and one on the bottom. Fill a kettle or medium pot with water (about 8 cups) and bring to a boil. Place the noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 5 minutes, then drain. Set aside the bowl to use in Step 5.
  • Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic and sesame seeds.
  • Place the noodles on a sheet pan. Add the sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss to combine, then spread the noodles out evenly.
  • Dip each tofu slice into the marinade, coating both sides, then add them to the sheet pan, pushing the noodles aside so that the tofu touches the pan and doesn't just sit on top of the noodles. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reserve excess marinade.
  • Place the baby bok choy into the reserved bowl, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and toss to coat.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven (the noodles should be crisp on the bottom and around the edges) and add the bok choy to the pan. Return the sheet pan to the top rack of the oven and bake for 4 to 7 minutes until the greens are vibrant with crispy edges, and the top of the noodles are crispy. Drizzle with the remaining marinade, top with cilantro leaves and serve.

SWEET-AND-SPICY ROASTED TOFU AND SQUASH



Sweet-and-Spicy Roasted Tofu and Squash image

This is a meal with complex flavors and a variety of textures: velvety from the honey-roasted squash, tender and juicy from the tofu, with the occasional crunch from the sesame-seed garnish and a slight chew from the squash peel. I like to serve this dish with more hot sauce on the side, preferably over brown rice or lightly dressed baby spinach, though it's also good served all alone. As long as the squash and the tofu have each other, that's all they really need.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
2 pounds dumpling, delicata or acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
Kosher salt, and black pepper
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves or cilantro

Steps:

  • Drain tofu and slice into 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Cut each slab in half. Arrange tofu on a large baking sheet or several plates lined with several layers of paper towels. Place another layer of paper towels on top and weigh down tofu with another baking sheet or more plates topped with a heavy cookbook or cans. Let stand for 20 minutes. Pat tofu dry.
  • While tofu drains, heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut squash into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons. Cut each slice in half again.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha and a pinch of salt. Whisk in peanut oil. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture into a separate bowl and reserve. Whisk honey into the original mixture. Spread squash out on a large baking sheet and pour honey-soy mixture over it. Sprinkle squash lightly with salt and pepper and toss well. Roast until bottoms are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Flip and roast until uniformly golden and soft, about 10 minutes more. Transfer squash to a large bowl.
  • Adjust the heat to broil and position a rack just below the heating element. Toss tofu with reserved soy mixture and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet (you can use the same one you used for the squash). Cook until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes per side. Toss hot tofu with squash, sesame seeds and celery leaves, adding more soy sauce if you like.

THE BEST CRISPY TOFU



The Best Crispy Tofu image

The key to getting tofu nice and crispy is to first remove excess moisture. We wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy pan on top of it to press out as much water as possible. When searing the tofu, resist the urge to move it around. Instead, allow it to form a crust before flipping, and then again let it cook undisturbed on the other side until browned.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 14-ounce block firm tofu, drained
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
2 teaspoons agave syrup
2 scallions, white parts minced, green parts sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
1/2 cup panko
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and place on top of a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Place a heavy pan on top of the tofu and let it sit for 5 minutes to release as much moisture as possible. Unwrap the tofu and slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick by 1 1/2-inch-wide planks.
  • Whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, agave syrup, scallion whites and sriracha together in a small bowl and set aside. Mix the panko, sesame seeds, cornstarch, garlic salt, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a pie dish or shallow bowl. Press the tofu planks into the panko mixture to coat on all sides.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the tofu with a metal spatula and continue cooking undisturbed until a deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the soy-sauce mixture to the pan. Cook until bubbling and slightly thicker, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the tofu planks and sprinkle with the scallion greens.
