• about 450 g Wide Rice Noodles
• 1 bunch Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Press the 1 block Firm Tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into 2.54 cm cubes. Wash the 1 bunch Chinese Broccoli thoroughly, then cut the stems into 1.27 cm pieces and the leaves into 2.54 cm pieces. Mince the 4 cloves Garlic.
2. 2Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the about 450 g Wide Rice Noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight chew. Drain the noodles well in a colander and set them aside.
3. 3Heat the 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil in a large wok or 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, reaching approximately 175°C. Add the 2.54 cm cubed Firm Tofu and cook, turning the pieces occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the cooked tofu from the wok and set it aside on a plate.
4. 4Add the minced 4 cloves Garlic and the prepared Chinese Broccoli stems and leaves to the same wok. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli stems are slightly tender-crisp and the leaves are wilted.
5. 5Pour the 4 tbsp Coconut Aminos, 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, and 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar into the wok with the broccoli and garlic. Add the 1/2 tsp Black Pepper and stir well to combine all the sauce ingredients.
6. 6Add the cooked about 450 g Wide Rice Noodles to the wok. Toss everything together gently with tongs or two spatulas for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the noodles are heated through and evenly coated in the sauce, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. 7Return the cooked 2.54 cm cubed Firm Tofu to the wok. Toss gently with the noodles, broccoli, and sauce for about 1 minute, until everything is evenly distributed and heated through.
8. 8Serve the Vegan Pad See Ew immediately.
