Vegan Noodle Stir-Fry - Grandma's Signature (Pad Mee Sua)

Step 1

Add noodles to rapidly boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes, just until they are pliable and release from each other but are still slightly undercooked. Timing may vary depending on your specific kind of noodles. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.

Step 2

In a wok, add just enough oil to coat the bottom followed by chopped garlic and pressed tofu. Once the garlic starts to turn golden, add cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms. Add a little splash of soy sauce over the vegetables and stir-fry for about a minute to wilt them slightly.

Step 3

Add the noodles, then drizzle the soy sauce and golden mountain sauce over the noodles and toss with tongs until the sauces are well distributed. Sprinkle sugar and white pepper and toss to mix well.

Step 4

Check doneness of noodles, they should be done by this point, but if they're still too hard, you can add a splash of water and toss it around until all the water is absorbed.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and immediately add garlic chives, tossing it until the garlic chives are slightly wilted.
