CRISPY SHEET-PAN NOODLES WITH GLAZED TOFU
Contrasting textures are a signature characteristic of Cantonese chow mein, in which crispy fried strands tangle with tender noodles. Here, that is achieved with the help of a sheet pan and an intensely hot oven. To ensure optimal crunch, start with the pan on the bottom rack to crisp the underside of the noodles, then move it up to the highest to encourage crackly noodles on top, too. Instant ramen noodles are the perfect choice for this recipe because they crisp up flawlessly; just soak them in boiling hot water to loosen them up before sliding them into the oven. The hoisin-marinated tofu is subtly sweet and carries a lot of the flavor in this noodle dish. Quick cooking baby bok choy adds freshness, but you could also use leftover vegetables or seasonal produce.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place one rack on the top and one on the bottom. Fill a kettle or medium pot with water (about 8 cups) and bring to a boil. Place the noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 5 minutes, then drain. Set aside the bowl to use in Step 5.
- Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic and sesame seeds.
- Place the noodles on a sheet pan. Add the sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss to combine, then spread the noodles out evenly.
- Dip each tofu slice into the marinade, coating both sides, then add them to the sheet pan, pushing the noodles aside so that the tofu touches the pan and doesn't just sit on top of the noodles. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reserve excess marinade.
- Place the baby bok choy into the reserved bowl, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and toss to coat.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven (the noodles should be crisp on the bottom and around the edges) and add the bok choy to the pan. Return the sheet pan to the top rack of the oven and bake for 4 to 7 minutes until the greens are vibrant with crispy edges, and the top of the noodles are crispy. Drizzle with the remaining marinade, top with cilantro leaves and serve.

Steps:
- Begin by preparing the noodles by placing them into boiling water for 5 mins. Then drain and refresh with cold water and drain and put to one side.
- Drain the tofu and pat dry. Chop the tofu into dice sized pieces and place in a bowl with the soy sauce, mix and let the tofu marinate while to prep the rest of the dish. stir occasionally during the prepping.
- Shred all the other vegetables - the onion, cabbage, red pepper, carrots, and broccoli.
- Slice the field mushrooms, finely chop the spring onions. Finally, mince the ginger and red chilli pepper. Now the prepping is done we can cook.
- Heat the wok and add a little oil. I usually add the hardier vegetables first, i.e. onions, cashew nuts, cabbage, carrot and lastly the broccoli and mushrooms. Stir fry the vegetables for several mins stirring and mixing it before it can burn and stick. If you find it drying out and burning, stir in a splash of water.
- Add the spring onions, ginger, chilli and garlic to the wok and stir in.
- Cook tofu, by placing it in a separate frying pan and charring the sides of the tofu cubes - once charred all over add to the stir fry and mix in.
- While the vegetables are frying, make the sauce. Start by combining the cornflower, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sweet chilli sauce and mirin rice wine and some cold water in a pan, heat over a gentle heat stirring all the time as the heat will thicken the sauce and stirring will stop it becoming lumpy. Keep stirring the vegetables.
- Pour the sauce over the chow mein and stir in
- Add the chopped coriander and sesame seeds and a final stir and take to the table to serve.

- Slice the onion and peppers, mince the garlic, and shred the carrots. Wash the snow peas and spinach. If needed, shell the edamame (I use frozen, already shelled edamame).
- Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package directions minus 1-2 minutes (ex. if the package says to cook for 5 minutes, cook for 3-4 minutes).
- Heat up a large wok or frying pan on medium-high heat. Add in the cooking oil and onion and cook for 2 minutes before adding in the garlic, pepper, and carrot. Let cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are starting to soften.
- Add in the snow peas, spinach, edamame and mostly cooked chow mein noodles along with the remaining ingredients (2 tsp ground ginger, 4 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp mirin). Cook until the spinach has wilted down and the noodles are completely cooked, about 2 minutes.
