Place tofu in 2 clean paper towels one at a time and gently press/squeeze to remove excess stored liquid (without breaking up the tofu).
Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and pan fry in non-stick pan on medium-high heat with 2 tbsp oil. Gently mix and turn frequently until all the water is burned off and the tofu is lightly golden brown on most sides (be sure not to burn the tofu). If you find that the tofu is sticking to the pan, add a little more oil.
Once the tofu is done, set aside in a bowl and quickly wipe the pan clean with a wet paper towel. While the tofu is cooking, prepare the noodles below.
To Prepare Veggies:
Heat 1-2 tbsp oil on non-stick pan on medium heat.
Add all the veggies except for spinach. Saute on medium-high heat until cooked and tender, but still remain crispy. Turn frequently. If you find the veggies burning, lower the heat or add additional oil. In the meantime, prepare the sauce below.
To Prepare Dish:
For the noodles. Prepare and cook the noodles according to the package. Rinse with cold water once done, mix in a tiny bit of oil to avoid clumping, and feel free to cut the noodles down so they are not really long and easier to work with.
For the sauce. Add all the ingredients under the sauce above. Whisk to combine.
Once the veggies are sauteed, add in the pan-fried tofu, cooked noodles, prepared sauce, and chopped spinach.
Gently fold everything together and simmer on low-medium heat until all the sauce is incorporated, slightly thickened, and absorbed into the veggies, tofu, and noodles.
Season to taste with additional soy sauce and/or maple syrup. Add chili sauce for spice and serve hot!
