Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop scallions, bok choy, napa cabbage and measure out the sesame oil.

Season the firm tofu with salt and pepper, then stir-fry over medium-high heat until well browned, about 8 minutes.

Add scallions, bok choy, napa cabbage to the pan and cook until softened, 3 minutes.

Stir in sesame oil, five spice, soy sauce and cook for another 4 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 20 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over rice noodles, garnished with fresh herbs.
