From the Cook
1/2
Dragon Noodles with Crispy Tofu
Instructions
1
|
Fill a Dutch oven with water and bring to a boil. If the water boils before you're ready to cook the noodles, reduce it to a simmer and cover.
2
|
Unwrap the tofu, drain, and wrap in a kitchen towel. Set the tofu bundle between two plates and put a can of tomatoes on top. Let stand for 5 minutes, then unwrap.
3
|
Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut the green onions into 1-inch pieces. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sriracha, tamari, agave, and oil. Set aside.
4
|
Heat half of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add half of the tofu and cook until golden brown, turning once, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer tofu to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and tofu.
5
|
Reduce heat to medium-high and add green onions to the skillet. Saute until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the sriracha mixture and bring to a simmer while stirring. Simmer for 1 minute to blend flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
6
|
Add the rice noodles to boiling water and cook as directed on package. Drain and rinse.
7
|
Add noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat.
8
|
Cut the lime into wedges. Transfer noodles to bowls and top with crispy tofu, cilantro, and lime.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tofu Crisp Technique 🧊Press tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier exterior when pan-frying.
- Noodle Texture Hack 🍜Soak rice noodles in room temperature water for exactly 8-10 minutes, then drain immediately to prevent overcooking and maintain the perfect al dente texture.
- Sauce Balance Mastery 🌶️Mix Sriracha, tamari, and agave in a separate bowl first to create a perfectly balanced sweet-spicy-umami sauce before adding to the noodles.
- Lime Zest Boost 🍋Grate some lime zest into the dish just before serving to add an extra layer of bright, citrusy complexity that elevates the entire flavor profile.
- Avocado Oil Pro Tip 🥑Use a high-heat tolerant avocado oil and heat the pan until it just starts to shimmer to achieve maximum tofu crispiness without burning.
