Notes

1. No wok needed. A wok is not required to make this recipe. If you don’t have a wok, you can just use an extra large skillet with a surface big enough to properly stir fry all the ingredients.
2. Cook the tofu in batches. For the best texture and flavor, you want to properly saute the tofu. This helps to both add flavor by browning and to prevent it from crumbling as you add more ingredients to the pan.
3. Use different veggies and proteins. You can replace the tofu with any meat you like as well as use any vegetables. The only thing I do suggest is using the same amounts as suggested in the recipe in order to have enough sauce. 
4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. To reheat, toss in the microwave or back into a skillet/wok until heated through.
5. You CAN freeze your leftover noodles to have them keep longer but keep in mind they might lose their quality and are best served fresh.
