Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat noodles
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 150 grams Kimchi
- 100 grams Edamame, shelled
- 100 grams Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into small cubes once drained.
Step 2
Prepare the whole wheat noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the tofu. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the kimchi and edamame, and continue cooking for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Toss everything well to combine and heat evenly. Add in baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Adjust seasoning by adding chili flakes if extra spice is desired. Taste and adjust the soy sauce if necessary.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
