TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE BEST CRISPY TERIYAKI AND THAI CHILI NOODLES. 

tofu prep: tofu absorbs everything that’s what makes it so great. to prep your tofu. remove and drain it from the package place it top and bottom with a paper towel and place a plate on top of it to add a little pressure. let it sit for 15 minutes to remove the moisture. cube the tofu prior to adding the marinade. toss gently so you don’t break it up.

veggie prep: for a good stir fry it’s all about timing. you want your vegetables lightly fried and colored while maintaining a crispy bite. to achieve that a hot pan and consistent knife cuts are key. make sure the carrots and cabbages are a thin julienne to get them in and out of the pan. any additional vegetables need to be around the same size

the sauce: with a lot of cooking and Asian cooking in particular the sauce pretty much starts with the fried veggies in the beginning. When you’re stir-frying your noodles. the oil as long as you don’t burn your veggies adds a lot of flavors. it’s generally the time your oil turn red and that infused oil permeates the entire dish. that’s why the sauce is so simple to let the fried veggies stand out.
