Instructions
    • 1Drain and press the tofu. Once the tofu is ready, preheat the oven to 425 degrees(F).
    • 2Cut the tofu into cubes, then place on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss to coat the tofu then spread the tofu cubes out in a single layer.
    • 3Bake for 10 minutes, flip the tofu then bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the tofu is brown and crispy on the outside.
    • 4While the tofu is baking, cook the noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
    • 5As the tofu and noodles cook, you can make the sauce. Whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger and cornstarch. Set aside.
    • 6Once the tofu and noodles are done, in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet, heat the brown sugar, maple syrup and water on medium high. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium low.
    • 7Whisk until brown sugar has dissolved, then simmer, reducing heat as needed until the sugar and maple syrup have thickened slightly. 3-5 minutes.
    • 8Now stir in the black pepper and the chilies if using.
    • 9Add the tofu to the skillet, and toss to coat the tofu in the caramel. Then add the noodles and toss to coat.
    • 10Next, pour the sauce you made into the skillet and toss to combine everything. Let simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens. The cornstarch will help the sauce thicken, but you will need to make sure the sauce cooks for a few minutes to make that happen.
    • 11Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately topped with Thai basil if desired.
