Hoisin ginger-glazed tofu with crispy noodles
This sheet-pan meal is bursting with flavor and easily adaptable to what you have on hand. Feel free to substitute bok choy or any similar green vegetable for the broccoli, or quick-cooking meat like chicken breast slices or shrimp for the tofu.
Ingredients
For the marinade and sauce
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- ½ tsp grated ginger (from about a ½-inch piece of ginger)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
For the tofu and noodles
- 1 (14 oz) package extra-firm tofu, cut into ½-inch-thick slices, patted dry
- 2 blocks instant ramen noodles (about 6 oz total), soup packets discarded
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1½ tsp vegetable oil (or other neutral-flavored oil), divided
- ¾ tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 8 oz broccoli, cut into 2-inch florets
- Cilantro, thinly sliced scallions, sliced red chiles, lime wedges, and/or toasted sesame seeds, for serving (optional)
Method
- In a medium bowl, mix all marinade ingredients to combine. Add the tofu and gently turn to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate up to overnight.
- Place the noodles in a medium heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until the noodles are still firm but separable, about 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Line the baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the drained noodles on the pan and toss to coat with 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vegetable oil, flavored ½ tsp salt, and garlic. Spread the noodles on the pan in an even layer.
- Nestle the slices of tofu between the noodles across the pan. Reserve the leftover marinade for serving.
- Place the wire rack in the middle position of the oven and set unit to Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes.
- Place the pan in the oven and cook until the noodles begin to crisp and brown, about 14 minutes. Transfer the pan to a heatproof surface.
- In a medium bowl, toss the broccoli with ½ tsp vegetable oil and ¼ tsp salt. Arrange the broccoli over the noodles.
- Return the pan to the oven and cook until the noodles are crispy and browned and the broccoli is tender and browned in spots, 8 to 9 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with the reserved marinade. Serve with your choice of garnishes.
