Ingredients

• 8 ounces Lo mein noodles
• 14 ounces Extra-firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce (or vegan oyster sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 1 cup Bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for at least 10 minutes by placing it between two plates and weighing the top with a heavy object to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Toss in the carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet, then add the drained noodles. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated and warmed through, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot. Enjoy your Fast and Easy Tofu Lo Mein!
