Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons soy sauce, divided

  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sherry wine or beer

  • 2 teaspoons firmly packed brown sugar

  • 2 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1/2 teaspoon five-spice seasoning

  • 2 3/4 pounds firm or extra-firm tofu, sliced ½-inch thick and drained

  • 2 tablespoons soybean oil

  • 8 ounces Chinese egg noodles

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 1/2 cups diagonally sliced carrots

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

  • 2 small cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced

Instructions

Combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sherry, brown sugar, garlic and five-spice seasoning in a small bowl; mix well and set aside.

Dry tofu slices thoroughly between several layers of paper towels. Heat a nonstick skillet and brown tofu on both sides using a small amount of soybean oil. Remove tofu from skillet. Cool slightly. Marinate in sauce mixture for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Preheat grill.

Grill tofu until browned on both sides; basting frequently with sauce. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and pour cold water over noodles to stop cooking; drain well. Season noodles with remaining ¼ cup soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar. Toss with carrots, green onions and cucumbers. Garnish with green onion fans, carrot curls and cucumber fans, if desired.
