Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package tofu, drained and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 8 ounces dry rice stick noodles

Sauce

  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup sriracha hot sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 1 egg (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
  • 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1
Coat tofu with cornstarch in a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; fry tofu until lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Step 2
Place noodles in a bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover; soak until softened, about 3 minutes. Drain.

Step 3
Combine water, sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, tamarind concentrate, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir sauce until flavors blend, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu, noodles, and sliced onion; cook and stir until tofu is golden brown; about 3 minutes. Stir in sauce gradually until noodles are well-coated.

Step 5
Push noodle mixture to one side of the wok. Crack egg onto opposite side of wok; stir until beginning to set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir egg into noodles gently. Garnish with green onions, peanuts, and lime wedges.
