Chinese Broccoli with Tofu Noodles

This was a great discovery and a huge success in my house. A friend told me about tofu noodles she bought at the Asian store. I found them in Whole Foods with the other tofu products. It is tofu shaped as noodles in a liquid- similar to the liquid in a tofu package.

I brought them home; drained them; rinsed and cooked them in the microwave for a minute. They were then ready to be used  like regular cooked noodles. I also had a big bunch of Chinese broccoli- one of our favorite vegetables to eat. It reminds me of broccoli raab- which is my favorite thing to eat.

I simply sauteed the Chinese broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce. I then added the noodles and some salt- and that was it. It was the quickest dish- almost comparable to the fish I made with it. Both the dishes were super easy and quick to make.

My daughter devoured the noodles and wanted more.  I wish I had made two packages instead of one… she would have eaten the whole package if I had let her. It is definitely going to be a staple in my house…

Try these noodles- they are healthy and delicious….

• 1 bunch Chinese broccoli, ends trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
• 2 to 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
• 1 to 2 cups fresh noodles (I used tofu noodles from the Asian store)
• Salt

Heat a large wok-like pan with the olive oil. Add the broccoli and sauté on high heat. Add the garlic and oyster sauce. Mix well and cook on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the noodles and mix well. Bring to a boil and check for seasonings. Add salt if needed and serve.
