Directions
Combine first 11 ingredients in a large baking dish; stir with a whisk until blended.
Cut each tofu cake crosswise into 4 slices.
Place tofu slices in soy sauce mixture, turning to coat slices.
Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Remove tofu slices from dish, reserving marinade.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium high heat.
Add tofu slices; cook 2 minutes on each side.
Remove from skillet; set aside, and keep warm.
Add reserved marinade to skillet; bring to a simmer.
Spoon noodles onto individual plates; top with tofu slices.
Drizzle marinade over tofu and noodles.
Yield: 4 servings.
I sometimes like to coat the tofu with cornstarch (after marinating) and fry the tofu until it gets crispy on the outside, then procede with recipe.
