Ingredients
1 8 oz package udon noodles
4 TBSP peanut oil or 3 TBSP sesame oil mixed with 1TBSP vegetable oils
1 12 oz package firm tofu, cut into 12 pieces
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 oz Asian cooking greens or baby spinach
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced diagonally
3 TBSP soy sauce
1 pinch sugar

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Cook the udon noodles as the label directs. (Don't overcook or they will get mushy.) Drain, reserving about 1/3 cup of the cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Pat the tofu dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Add the tofu to the skillet and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon oil and the greens to the skillet. Cook, tossing, until just wilted. Add the scallions, red pepper flakes, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the soy sauce and sugar. Add the reserved cooking water; heat to create a broth. Divide the noodles and greens among 4 bowls and top with the tofu.
