Tofu Egg Noodles In Coconut Sauce Recipes

STIR-FRIED COCONUT NOODLES

Steps:

• If using rice noodles, soak them in very hot water to cover until ready to add to stir-fry in Step 4. If using linguine, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, and cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite done. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
• Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok; turn heat to high. A minute later, add meat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of the oil to skillet, followed by bell pepper and eggplant. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until both are browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; combine with meat.
• Add remaining tablespoon of oil, followed immediately by the garlic and about 30 seconds later, the coconut milk. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon, for about a minute. Add drained noodles along with meat and vegetables, and cook until noodles absorb most of the coconut milk, about 3 minutes.
• Season with nam pla to taste, then add plenty of black pepper. Garnish with cilantro, and serve.

TOFU EGG NOODLES IN COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir eggs and soy sauce together in a bowl. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat; pour in egg mixture and cook until firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Slide eggs onto work surface and cut into bite-size cubes.
• Heat sesame oil and canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tofu; cook until golden brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate. Add mushrooms and broccoli to skillet; cook until broccoli is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place cashews in a baking dish; cook in preheated oven, tossing occasionally to avoid burning, until toasted, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Place edamame in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and cook in the microwave until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles, bring back to a boil, and cook over medium heat until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Combine soy milk, peanut butter, coconut milk, and tahini together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until peanut butter and tahini have dissolved, 2 to 4 minutes. Add egg, tofu, mushroom and broccoli mixture, edamame, and egg noodles; toss to combine. Top with toasted cashews to serve.

EGG NOODLES WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Cook the noodles: boil 5 cups water with the salt and add the noodles. While they are boiling, separate them, with a large fork so that they cook evenly and don't stick together. Let them boil for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a colander and put them under cold running water until they are cool. Leave them in the colander to drain completely.
• Heat half the oil in a wok and stir-fry the shallots, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and tomatoes, and stir for 30 seconds.
• Add the cold noodles and keep turning and tossing them around until they are hot again. Remove the wok from the heat and cover it, so that the noodles stay warm.
• In another wok or frying pan, heat the remaining oil and add the chopped chilies and yellow bean sauce. Stir for 2 minutes. Raise the heat and add the lightly beaten eggs and scallions. With a wooden spoon, vigorously stir the mixture until the eggs are scrambled.
• Transfer the tofu mixture to the wok with the noodles. Heat together over a low heat, stirring and mixing so that everything is evenly hot. Serve at once.

KHAO SOI ( THAI COCONUT NOODLE SOUP)

Steps:

• Start a pot of boiling water, to cook the rice noodles and make sure to follow your package directions, as rice noodles can differ. Drain and rinse with water to help prevent them from sticking together. A little oil to coat, will help here, or if you time it right, you can add it directly to the soup.
• While water is boiling, prep the shallot, garlic, lemongrass, red bell pepper, then get all other ingredients ready by the stove.
• In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot and lemongrass. Saute until fragrant and golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, saute 1-2 minutes. Add red curry paste, turmeric, and a pinch of cardamom. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk , chicken broth and kefir lime leaves and bring to a simmer, stirring. Once gently simmering add the bell pepper, fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce and chili garlic paste.
• Add the prawns (or chicken or crispy tofu) and gently simmer until cooked. Give a generous squeeze of lime. Taste, adding more lime/salt/ red curry paste if necessary.
• Drain the noodles. If serving all of the soup immediately, toss the noodles right into the pot and then serve. Alternatively, divide noodles into the bowls and ladle the flavorful soup over top- a bit easier to handle.
• Garnish with fresh basil, pickled mustard greens, crispy noodles, bean sprouts, thinly sliced red onion, lime wedge, or chopped scallions.
