Ingredients: 1/2 Pound Ground Turkey Tofu; 2 Cloves Garlic (grated) Tofu; 1/4 Onion (grated) Tofu; 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce Tofu; 1 Handful Chopped Mint Tofu; 2 Packages Extra Firm Tofu Tofu; 2 Tablespoons Sriracha Noodles; 1 Tablespoon Gochujang Noodles; 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar Noodles; 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce Noodles; 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar Noodles; 1 Pound Chinese Noodles Noodles; 2 Carrots Noodles; 1 Onion Noodles; 1 Handful Green Beans Noodles

When I was frying some tofu one day, I noticed that it sticks together really easily. As the tofu cooks, it basically binds to any other tofu cooking nearby. This gave me the idea to one day stuff cubes of tofu, considering that whatever the stuffing may be, the tofu would hold it in nicely. When “one day” finally came, I made a vaguely Asian turkey meatball mixture to stuff into the little cubes.

The filling.

Just make little pockets in the tofu squares. Make sure to dry these on paper towels nicely before you do this part.

Then stuff with the turkey mixture.

Meanwhile, get all the rest of the ingredients ready to go.

Fry up the tofu on all sides, starting with the turkey side down.

Lookin’ good!

After the tofu comes out, the veggies go in.

Then the noodles and the sauce. The sauce is a few tablespoons each of things I felt like would taste good in this dish; sriracha, soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, and brown sugar.

The noodles were pretty good on their own but…

The fried tofu really made the dish.

Crisp on the oputside, soft and tender tofu on the inside, with a little pocket of turkey goodness in the middle

I’m out of town for the weekend, so no new post tomorrow. Happy Valentines day everyone!
