Noodles with Tofu and Vegetables 
Makes 3-4 servings.
From vegan cook, Christina Pirelli, an easy
to make, and easy to present main course dinner idea. Most kids love noodles
and more than you think, kids will try tofu, if it’s delicious.
Try this well-balanced meal of complex carbohydrates, protein and vegetables
to keep your young ones strong and vital.
Ingredients
1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
3-4 thin slices fresh ginger, finely minced
1 red onion, thin half moon slices
soy sauce
6-7 button mushrooms, brushed free of dirt, thinly sliced
1 carrot, fine matchstick pieces
1 small bunch bok choy, rinsed well, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2-3 slices packaged baked tofu, cubed
2 teaspoons brown rice syrup
8 ounces whole wheat udon noodles
juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
2-3 sprigs fresh parsley, finely minced
Instructions
- Place a small amount of oil, ginger and onions in a deep skillet
and turn heat to medium.
- When the onions begin to sizzle, add a dash of soy sauce and sauté
for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms release their
juices, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in carrots, bok choy and a light seasoning of soy sauce. Stir
in baked tofu and rice syrup and season with soy sauce to taste. Saute
until bok choy is wilted and crisp-tender.
- While the vegetables are sautéing, bring a pot of water to
a boil and cook the udon al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse
well.
- Stir cooked noodles into sautéed tofu and vegetables, stir
in lemon juice and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley
and serve immediately.
Note: Vary the vegetables to your family’s taste.

Udon Noodles with Tofu and Asparagas 
Ingredients
Version 1 ingredients
2 tbsp soy sauce, divided
2 tbsp Bragg’s Aminos
2 tsp. dark sesame oil, divided
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cooking sherry
1 tbsp. red wine
1 tbsp of white wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
8 ounces extra firm tofu, drained and cut into cubes
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces buckwheat Udon noodles
Version 2 ingredients
4 tbsp soy sauce, divided
2 tsp. dark sesame oil, divided

1 garlic clove, minced
8 ounces extra firm tofu, cut into cubes (or rectangles)
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces buckwheat somen or soba noodles
Directions
|
Note: Don’t throw anything away in this recipe! You’re going to re-use the marinade as well as the asparagus cooking water.
- Place a large pot of water on to boil. In a large bowl, mix together 1 tbsp. soy sauce, 1 tbsp of Bragg’s Amino Acids and 1 tsp. sesame oil. Add the tofu and marinate as you heat a non-stick skillet lightly coated with oil.
- When the skillet is hot, lift the tofu out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and put it in the skillet. Cook, turning, until brown on all sides.
- While the tofu is cooking, add 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp Bragg’s, plus the sugar, sherry, red wine, vinegar and minced garlic to the marinade.
- When the tofu is done, add it to the marinade in the bowl, stir it, and set it aside.
|
By now the water should be boiling. Add the asparagus and cover. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon and toss it together with the tofu and marinade.
- Return the water to a boil, add salt and add the udon noodles. Cook until pasta is tender, about 6 minutes. Drain it, rinse with hot water, return it to the pan and toss it with 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp Braggs, and 1 tsp. of sesame oil.
- Serve immediately with asparagus and tofu mixture on top.

Almond Soba Noodles 
Yield: serves 6-8 as a side, less as a main.
Add a touch more curry paste if you like your noodles spicy.
Ingredients
2
teaspoons red curry paste
1/3 cup unsalted almond butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
very scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 - 8 tablespoons hot water
12 ounces dried soba noodles
12 ounces extra-firm nigari tofu
4 ounces pea shoots (or other greens, or tiny pieces of broccoli)
12 leaves fresh basil, slivered
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Directions
- Make the almond sauce by mashing the curry paste into the almond butter.
- Stir in the lemon juice and salt. And then whisk in the hot water
one tablespoon at a time until you have a pourable dressing that is
about as thick as a heavy cream. The dressing thickens as it cools,
so feel free to thin it out with more water later on if needed. Taste,
and add more salt or more curry paste if you like.
- Cook the soba in plenty of rapidly boiling salted water just until
tender, then drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain and shake
off as much water as possible.
- While the pasta is cooking, drain the tofu, pat it dry, and cut it
into matchsticks or 1/2-inch cubes. Cook the tofu, along with a pinch
or two of salt, in a well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat for
a few minutes, until the pieces are browned on one side. Add a tiny
splash of oil if needed to prevent sticking. Toss gently once or twice,
then continue cooking for another minute or so, until the tofu is firm,
golden, and bouncy. About 15 seconds before the tofu has finished cooking,
add the pea shoots to the hot pan.
- In a large bowl combine the noodles with 2/3 of the almond sauce.
Toss well, be sure all the noodles get coated. Arrange the tofu and
pea shoots on top of the noodles, drizzle with the remaining sauce,
and garnish with the slivered basil and toasted almonds.
