## Ingredients

- 225 g firm tofu
- 180 g wheat flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 0.5 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 0.5 tbsp black rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp water
- 2 tsp chili flakes
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 0.5 spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp neutral oil

## Instructions

1. Mash the tofu using a fork, masher, or your hands until you get a smooth, paste-like texture.
2. Add salt and gradually add the flour, while mixing it in. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.
3. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to relax the gluten.
4. Roll the dough out to about 0.5 cm / 0.2 inch thickness. Dust with flour and slice into thick, udon-style strips.
5. Boil the noodles in salted water for 5–7 minutes until cooked through and chewy.
6. Combine all sauce ingredients. Divide over two bowls, add the noodles and toss.
7. Add garlic, chili flakes, and spring onion on top of the noodles. Heat the oil until it's sizzling hot, then pour over the aromatics to release their fragrance.
8. Toss the noodles in the sauce and fresh chili oil, and serve with your favorite veggies and protein.

## Tips

- The fat and starch in tofu contribute to tenderness and a chewy texture in the noodles.
- Adjust flour quantity based on tofu's water content for a soft, pliable, non-sticky dough.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to relax gluten.
- Pour sizzling hot oil over aromatics to release their fragrance.
