Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your protein choice: for homemade seitan, shape into bite-sized pieces; for baked tofu, preheat oven to 400°F, cube tofu, season, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped yellow onion for 5 minutes, then add broccolini with a couple of tablespoons of water; cover for 6-8 minutes until tender.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, agave syrup, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and water. In another bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water until smooth.
  4. Add fresh udon noodles to the skillet and steam for 2-3 minutes until loosened and flavored. Stir in half of the prepared sauce.
  5. Add baked tofu or seitan, remaining sauce, and cornstarch slurry to the pan. Stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh coriander, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
