Photo: Udon with Tofu and Asian Greens Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce package udon noodles
- 4 tablespoons roasted peanut oil, or 3 tablespoons sesame oil mixed with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 12-ounce package firm tofu, cut into 12 pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 11-ounce package Asian cooking greens or baby spinach
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced diagonally
- Large pinch of red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- Pinch of sugar
Directions
Cook the udon noodles as the label directs. (Don't overcook or they will get mushy.) Drain, reserving about 1/3 cup of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Pat the tofu dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Add the tofu to the skillet and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and the greens to the skillet. Cook, tossing, until just wilted. Add the scallions, red pepper flakes, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the soy sauce and sugar. Add the reserved cooking water; heat to create a broth. Divide the noodles and greens among 4 bowls and top with the tofu.

Great dish with lots of flavor! My fiance who was skeptical about tofu at first is now asking for this dish again!

I am normally terrible at frying tofu but was successful with this recipe. I liked it but would use less soy sauce next time. That flavor was too strong.

I really loved this. I absolutely love fried tofu so that was delish. My daughter loved it and wanted to take leftovers for her school lunch, but I had to fry extra tofu. I didn't have asian greens or baby spinach and just substituted mushrooms and followed the rest of the recipe. Very good.
