Instructions

Remove the tofu from the package and wrap in paper towel.
Place the tofu on a cutting board and place a small frying pan on top to make a press to allow excess water to remove from the tofu. Let the tofu sit like this for about an hour or so.
Cut the tofu into bit – size pieces and place in a bowl. Prepare the marinade for the tofu and pour over the tofu pieces.
Allow the tofu to marinade for about 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
When the tofu is finished marinating place on a baking sheet and dust with the cornstarch.
Heat a large cast iron frying pan with a tablespoon or two of cooking oil.
Place the tofu pieces in the heated oil and allow to get a beautiful golden color on all sides, this will take a few minutes per side.
Place on a platter prepared with a paper towel when this is achieved.
In a small dry cast iron frying pan place the sesame seeds and let them get a nice golden color. This will only take a minute so, do not burn the seeds.
Prepare the honey garlic sauce.
Heat another large cast iron frying pan and place the veggies in the dry pan to slightly soften.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the veggies and turn the heat off.
Prepare noodles as directed, drain, and then toss it with the veggies in the honey garlic sauce.
Plate the noodles and top with the fried tofu and garnish with the fresh scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
