Ingredients | Southern Fried Tofu

¾ cup water

6 tablespoons liquid soy seasoning (such as Bragg®)

1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

1 (1 inch) piece minced fresh ginger root

1 large clove garlic, crushed

½ (12 ounce) package firm tofu

5 ounces medium-width rice stick noodles

2 tablespoons avocado oil, or as needed

2 cups chopped portabello mushrooms

1 (8 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

½ white onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Combine water, liquid soy seasoning, arrowroot, ginger, and garlic in a jar. Set glaze aside.

Line a plate with paper towels, set tofu on top, and add another layer of paper towels. Place a cutting board on top of the tofu and set a heavy pot on the board. Let sit for 30 minutes, replacing the paper towels as needed, to press as much liquid as possible from the tofu.

Place rice noodles into a large bowl, cover with cold water, and soak. Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch pieces.

Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add tofu and stir-fry until all sides are golden, about 5 minutes. Add all mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Mix in bell pepper and onion, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Pour glaze on top and cook until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.

Remove rice noodles from water, shake off excess liquid, and add to the wok. Stir-fry until heated thorough, about 3 minutes.

I used medium rice stick noodles, which can be found in the international isle of grocery stores or Asian markets.
