The Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cut the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss the tofu with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and cornstarch. Spread in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Place broccoli on the other half of the sheet, and toss with 1 tbsp sesame oil.
- 3
Roast the tofu and broccoli for 20-25 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through, until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crispy and the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- 4
While the tofu and broccoli are roasting, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- 5
In a wok or large pan, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or agave), sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is slightly thickened and fragrant.
- 6
Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add the roasted tofu and broccoli to the noodles and sauce. Toss gently to combine.
- 7
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
