SPICY RICE NOODLES WITH CRISPY TOFU AND SPINACH
Herby noodles, chile oil and crisp tofu come together in this spicy, filling bowl that will disappear before you know it. But the component parts are just as valuable on their own: Make crisp baked tofu once, and you may never pan-fry cubes again. Make a scallion-basil paste on your cutting board, and forget about pesto from the food processor. And make a little extra spicy sesame oil, so that you can swirl it into scrambled eggs and smashed cucumber salads.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. As the oven heats, press the tofu (you can do this by sandwiching the block in paper towels and placing a cutting board, plus a heavy pot, can or book on top).
- Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Add the salt and oils, and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch, panko and sesame seeds, if using, and toss gently so the tofu cubes are coated.
- Spread on the prepared sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once, until golden-brown and crisp.
- While the tofu bakes, start the noodles: Put the dry rice noodles in a big, wide bowl. Fill a kettle, bring the water to a boil, and pour the boiling water over the noodles to cover. Set aside for 6 to 10 minutes, until the noodles are fully rehydrated and soft. (Time may vary by brand.) Then drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Transfer noodles to a large bowl.
- As the noodles soak, prepare the spicy sesame oil: In a small pot, combine sesame oil, peanut oil, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook on the lowest heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the garlic slices turn golden.
- Meanwhile, on your cutting board, make a small mound with the teaspoon of salt. Place the basil and the scallions on top, and use your knife to furiously chop and smash until you have a rough paste.
- Mix the basil paste into the bowl of rice noodles. Pile the baby spinach on top. Pour at least half of the hot oil immediately over the spinach, tossing so that the heat wilts the leaves slightly. Then add the juice of the 1/2 lime and toss to combine. Taste for salt and lime juice, and add more oil as you see fit.
- Arrange the tofu on top of the noodles, or mix them in so that the cubes hide like little treasures. For extra flair, garnish with additional sesame seeds and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This recipe is delicious and something I worked on perfecting over a couple years' time. Feel free to adjust it to your preference, using tofu or chicken (I've done both, but I think the tofu absorbs the sauce better), add the veggies you want, and adjust the red curry paste and Golden Mountain® sauce to your preference. Best served over white jasmine or basmati rice or vermicelli noodles.

Steps:
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed according to package directions, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, bell pepper, and green onions and cook until vegetables are tender and tofu is browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
- While the tofu and vegetables are cooking, combine soy sauce, seasoning sauce, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce in a small bowl until well blended.
- Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk over tofu-vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Mix in sauce mixture until combined. Add as much coconut milk until the mixture is about half liquid and half tofu and vegetables; you may not need all the coconut milk. Cook for 5 minutes until everything is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
- Serve curry over jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Steps:
- Bring 4 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- While the rice is cooling, slice tofu and place on a plate with cloth napkins or paper towels between the slices. Place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard any accumulated liquid.

COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU
This simple weeknight red curry relies on jarred or canned red curry paste for flavor, which you can find at larger supermarkets and specialty markets. Transfer leftover canned curry paste to a jar, top it with a little oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms and snow peas, though you might have to increase the cooking time slightly if using something dense like carrot or cubed winter squash.
