garlic noodles with tofu



tonight i made a noodle dish that i've been craving for the past few weeks. i wasn't sure how it was going to turn out since i combined like 4 recipes into one, but it ended up being pretty good. the only problem was that i thought i was using a nonstick pan, but it sucked at not sticking. i lost almost all the onions and garlic i was sauteing because of it. i transferred to a better pan and saved some of it... but in the end, the noodles lacked the strong garlic flavor i was going for.

Ingredients:
one bag egg noodles, cooked
olive oil
few handfuls of bean sprouts
block extra firm tofu, drained & cubed (or sub. chicken)
2-3 tablespoons of finely diced garlic
1 small onion, diced
chili sauce (i used sriracha hot chili sauce)
soy sauce
mirin (optional, but adds a good flavor)
salt & pepper
green onions for garnish

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil at a high heat & season with salt and pepper. Add tofu until brown & crisp on all sides. Add bean sprouts and saute for a minute. Stir in noodles & then add soy sauce, mirin, a tiny bit chili sauce to coat the noodles (add a little bit at a time until you get it right). Season with salt & garnish with green onions.
