Dressing

1/8 C rice vinegar

2-3 T finely chopped ginger

Put all ingredients into an airtight tupperware with a sealable lid. Shake. Done.

Noodle Salad

1 package Japanese ramen noodles or mie noodles (make sure they don't have eggs in them)

1 C frozen peas

1 carrot

1 T chopped jalapeños

1 medium orange (or grapefruit) cut into bite-sized pieces

1 container chopped tofu

black pepper to taste

Optional: torn mint leaves, 1 T white toasted sesame seeds

Cook the noodles, strain, put dressing into the warm pan, then the frozen peas, then the hot noodles. Add the rest and stir. 

The quick version

Make the dressing, cook the lo mein noodles, add dressing and a crunchy salad mix (red and green cabbage and brussel sprouts and broccoli all chopped up) and teriyaki tofu

Another Lo Mein recipe (but I think above is better)

modified by Corina from https://simple-veganista.com/vegetable-lo-mein/

Follow the instructions at the link above with the following modifications:

• Can use any kind of tofu, even those that are already cooked, in which case heat up the tofu in oil with garlic and onion (a tiny bit). Then throw in the other veggies until they are done, then add the noodles, and pour the sauce on top.
• Sauce: we like lots of Sambal (2T) and agave syrup instead of maple syrup (cheaper)
• No scallions or bean sprouts, can substitute mushrooms for bell pepper

Kung Pao Tofu

Modified by Corina, based on a recipe by The Spruce Eats

Follow the instructions from spruce eats to make the tofu:

Cut a block of tofu into small pieces. Marinate these for ~1 hour  in 3 tablespoons broth, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tablespoons tamari, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil. Place the marinated tofu pieces in a single layer on an oven pan, and bake in the oven at 210C for 30 minutes (until they start to crisp), turning occasionally to bake them evenly.

You can eat the tofu just like this as a snack. We also sometimes add a potato: cut the potato into small pieces, place these next to te tofu on the oven pan, cover them a little in the marinade liquid, and bake together with the tofu.

Alternatively use the tofu (and the potato) in a stir fry. We use different flavours in the stir fry, for example you can add:

toasted sesame oil

tamari

chili flakes

kefir lime leaves

rice vinegar
sambal
agave
Heat these in a pan, add various vegetables (for example carrots, bell pepper, sugar snaps), and add the tofu.
