Vegetable and Tofu Chow Fun is a flavorful stir-fried dish that combines chewy rice noodles with vibrant vegetables and protein-rich tofu. This kosher dish is perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner, bursting with color and taste.

Ingredients

• Wide rice noodles - 150 grams
• Firm tofu - 200 grams, cubed
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 2 tablespoons
• Oyster sauce (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Snow peas - 100 grams
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 teaspoon (optional, for thickening sauce)

Steps

1. Soak the wide rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Add the soaked noodles to the skillet along with the fried tofu, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. If using, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and add it to the pan. Toss everything together for about 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
6. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
