Shirataki Noodles with Tofu & Veggies
Shirataki noodles, which are made from konjac yam, have a mild flavor and can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups to stir-fries. Here, we pair them with tofu and veggies for a sweet and salty dish featuring crisp-tender bok choy and cabbage. The tofu has a nice crust on the outside, adding texture to this quick vegetarian meal.

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 (16-ounce) package firm tofu, patted dry and cubed (1-inch)

Description
-
Cut white and light green scallion parts into 2-inch pieces. Thinly slice dark green scallion tops and set aside for garnish. Slice white bok choy parts crosswise 1/4-inch thick; leave leafy green bok choy parts whole.
-
Combine soy sauce, sambal oelek, hoisin, sesame oil, vinegar, honey and salt in a small bowl; whisk to mix well.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not wipe the pan clean.
-
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil, ginger, garlic and the white bok choy slices and white and light green scallion pieces to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, about 4 minutes. Add noodles, coleslaw mix and the green bok choy parts, the tofu and the soy sauce mixture; cook, stirring often, until the bok choy leaves are wilted, the noodles are coated and the sauce is slightly absorbed, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the reserved sliced scallions.
