Udon Noodles with Broccolini, Spicy Tofu & Cashews

Author Notes

This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light.

I love turning to Asian flavors when I need to mix things up a bit. I also love it because to make a great sauce we usually have everything already in the pantry. This recipe marks the first time I pressed tofu to let it try out some, marinated it and baked it. I think to get that crispy crust I might throw it in a hot saute pan after it's baked just to let the edges crisp up a bit. —goodspoon

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces Firm Tofu
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil

  • 1 bunch Broccolini

  1. Cut tofu into slices and place on paper towels then cover with more paper towels and let stand for 30 minutes. Press down occasionally. Once it's drained remove the paper towels then cut into cubes..

I don't see rice wine vinegar listed in ingredients, but it is In recipe with sesame oil listed twice in ingredients. Is it 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil? Thanks!

Whoops I think posting this to the questions may be the wrong place.

What is the weight of a bunch of broccolini and how many radishes in a bunch?
Are radishes sliced thinly or thickly?
What's the size of your handful in ounces?
What is the size of a packet of Udon noodles once cooked in ounces?
Marinade is absorbed by the tofu - there is no reserved marinade I can make some more for the final step but how much?
