- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil (like Avocado or Canola)
- ½ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (or Tamari for Gluten-Free)
- ½ cup Water (or Vegetable Broth)
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup (or Agave Nectar)
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger (grated or minced)
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water (for thickening)
- Optional: Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
- 8 oz (225g) Noodles (choose noodle type of your choice)
- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil (for sautéing)
- 1 large head Broccoli (cut into small florets)

- 1 Red Bell Pepper (seeded and thinly sliced)
- 4–5 Green Onions (sliced)

Instructions
- Press tofu to remove excess liquid. Cut into ¾-inch cubes, then toss with soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- In a large skillet, heat neutral oil over medium heat. Add tofu cubes in a single layer and sauté until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, water, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer.
- Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce and cook until thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Optional: add red pepper flakes for heat.
- Add more oil if needed, then toss in broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they’re vibrant but still crisp.
- Cook your noodles as per the package instructions, then drain. Add cooked noodles, crispy tofu, and teriyaki sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Transfer to bowls and top with edamame, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds.
