Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Line a plate with paper towels.

    Drain tofu. Halve tofu and cut one half into 1/2" dice (remaining half is yours to use as you please!).

    Place on towel-lined plate. Top with paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let heat, 3 minutes.

    Add diced tofu to hot pan and season all over with Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse). Stir occasionally until browned and slightly crisp, 6-8 minutes.

    Don't rush cooking the tofu; it will need the complete cooking time for the correct texture.

    While tofu cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Break broccoli into bite-sized pieces using hands.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add broccoli, carrots, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Cover and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to another plate and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add Noodles and Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch until dissolved. Stir in orange sauce, 1/4 cup water, and red pepper flakes (to taste) until smooth.

    Add noodles, vegetables, and sauce to hot pan with tofu. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce thickens and coats noodles, 1-2 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with sesame seeds. Bon appétit!
