- 1/2 medium Onion

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified. Source temperature equivalents could not be reconciled. Check the original instruction before cooking.
Instructions
- 1Place the 1 block of extra-firm tofu on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another towel and press down firmly for at least 5 minutes to remove as much water as possible. Once pressed, cut the tofu into about 2.5 cm cubes.
- 2Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the about 2.5 cm cubes of tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- 3Add the 2 cups of cabbage, 1 medium carrot (peeled and thinly sliced), and 1/2 medium onion (thinly sliced) to the skillet with the tofu. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened but still have a slight crispness.
- 4Add the about 450 g of Yakisoba noodles, 1/4 cup of Yakisoba sauce, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together continuously for 3-5 minutes, until the noodles are heated through and coated evenly with the sauce.
- 5Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and the 2 tablespoons of scallions (thinly sliced).
- 6Serve the Yakisoba immediately. Top with 1 tablespoon of bonito flakes (if using) and 1 teaspoon of seaweed flakes (Aonori).
