Shirataki Noodles with Tofu & Veggies

Firm tofu cubes turn golden and silky in a hot pan, mingling with ginger matchsticks, crisp bok choy, and scallions before the shirataki noodles soak up a savory-sweet sauce of soy, hoisin, sambal, and honey. Each bite delivers a lively mix of tender, crunchy, and slurpy textures.

Ingredients

  • 4 scallions, trimmed
  • 2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (see Tip)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral oil, divided
  • 1 (16-ounce) package firm tofu, patted dry and cubed (1-inch)
  • 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (7 ounce) packages shirataki noodles, rinsed
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Combine soy sauce, sambal oelek, hoisin, sesame oil, vinegar, honey and salt in a small bowl; whisk to mix well.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
