Another excellent vegan dish – tasty, satisfying and pretty easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 packages of fresh Fortune Teriyaki Noodles
- 1 package of extra firm tofu
- 1 small can of Water Chestnuts
- 1 cup of frozen edamame
- 1 fresh red bell pepper
- 1 fresh yellow pepper
- 1 sweet onion
- 2 or 3 sticks of fresh celery
- 1 cup of vegetable broth
- 1 jar of Teryiak stiry fry sauce
- Olive oil
Method
Before you start, drain the tofu and press it for 30-45 minutes to squeeze any excess water from it. I don’t have a tofu press, so I just wrap it in paper towels, place it between two cutting boards and then put two or three cans of beans or something on top. Watch that it’s balanced correctly, otherwise the whole thing will topple over. This won’t affect the tofu in any way, but it will scare the crap out of the dog.
Once most of the water has been pressed out of the tofu, slice it into pieces about 1″ x 1″x 1/2″. We don’t want the tofu to be too large or it will still be soft in the middle. On a side note, I read somewhere that tofu is one of the most hated foods in America, but I truly think this is because most peoples experience with it has been in the form of barely cooked gelatinous cubes, which is not appetizing at all. I cooked this tofu to an almost crispy crunch, and it’s a completely different experience.
Heat some oil in your skillet and stir fry the tofu until it browns, but don’t overcook it. Remove it from the heat, and drain it on paper towels. Set it aside for a few minutes.
Add the coarsely chopped onion, bell peppers and celery and stir fry for a few minutes, then add the edamame and water chestnuts. Once all the vegetables are looking good, add the noodles and a cup or two of vegetable broth. Stir the whole thing around and then return the tofu to the skillet, stirring it all in to the mix.
When the noodles are almost cooked (2-3 minutes) add as much teriyaki sauce as you like, mix it in and serve immediately.

Extra…
I wasn’t wearing any shoes when I was cooking this, and I stepped on a burning hot coal. At first, I thought I had stepped on a bee, but when I looked at my foot, there was a 1/2″ chunk of burning hot wood stuck in the ball of my foot. It took about 4 weeks to heal and hurt like Hell.
So, we all know not to fry bacon in the nude, and I would like to add – never walk around a fire pit in bare feet. ..
