Step-By-Step Recipe Method

1. Drain tofu and wrap it in a paper towel or tea towel. Using a heavy pan or cast iron skillet and place on top for 10 minutes to press the moisture out. Once done, cut the tofu into small 1-inch cubes and place them into a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the garlic powder, cornstarch, and salt, then gently toss until they’re thoroughly coated. * Note: I like to do this first while I prep the veggies! *
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of the avocado oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry them until they’re evenly browned on all sides. Remove the skillet from the heat, season the tofu with salt, and set aside.
3. Discard the remaining oil from the tofu and, in the same skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the eggs and cover for 2 minutes or until the whites are set. Remove and set aside.
4. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions (about 4 minutes).
5. To assemble, add the noodles, veggies, tofu and fried egg to a bowl. Top with soy sauce, chili crunch and toasted sesame oil. Finish with lime and toasted sesame seeds.
