Pad See Ew (WFPBNO)

I love ethic dishes. They are so easy to make WFPBNO and are very versatile. Asian restaurants are one of my favorites: Thai, Chinese, Japanese!! I took a recipe for Pad See Ew and made it oil free, used tofu instead of meat, used regular broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli and added some extra veggies. This was so good I've already made it twice and I'm ready for more! This dish makes four servings, with extra tofu. We just go ahead eat a quarter of the tofu with each bowl. Be sure to save your broccoli stems, use your potato peeler and peel off the outer, tougher stem, then slice thin and add it to skillet with the other veggies. You paid for that stem, eat it!

• 8 ounces wide Lo Mein noodles

Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons vegan oyster sauce
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons organic coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoons roasted garlic rice vinegar

Begin water for cooking noodles and begin baking the tofu. Stir all the sauce ingredients into a small container and set aside.

Stir-Fry

• 1 14-ounce package extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed, baked
• 1 small stem broccoli
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and peel, and sliced stems, slice the onions. Have all of your veggies ready before you begin cooking.

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and add to a pot of cold water so they don't stick together, while you cook the veggies.

Add a tablespoon or two of water to skillet over medium heat. Add all the veggies to the skillet. Cook and toss until they are semi tender. I covered my skillet to help them steam. Add garlic when almost done.

Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet. Stir well.

Add the sauce you made earlier and toss everything well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until noodles are hot.

Serve, garnished with black sesame seeds and a little Sriracha sauce.

Enjoy!!
