Step 1

Press and drain the block of tofu (or pat dry thoroughly with a dish towel). Coat the block of tofu with the starch.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, followed by the block of tofu. Pan fry for 5 minutes, flip the tofu and pan fry for 5 minutes longer, or until the tofu is firm and beginning to turn golden. Set the tofu aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, garlic, sriracha, sugar, vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, pepper and salt. Whisk well.

Step 5

In a large baking dish (9" x 13" casserole dish or similar), place the two noodle nests. Place the pan-fried tofu on top of the noodles.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture over the tofu noodles.

Step 7

Pour the water into the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the tofu is crisp and golden. (If the noodles seem too dry, add a little bit more water and bake for a few minutes longer until the noodles are to your liking.)

Step 9

Remove the tofu and slice into any shapes of choice. To serve, place some noodles in a bowl, followed by some tofu. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and chiles. Enjoy!
