Ingredients

8 Ounces Noodles rice noodles, chickpea spaghetti, or pasta of choice
2 Large Shallots minced
6 Cloves Garlic minced
2 Scallions sliced
2 Jalapeño Peppers minced
1 Tablespoon Grated Ginger
¼ Cup Soy Sauce, or Tamari, or Liquid Aminos
1 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Optional

1 14 oz Block Extra Firm Tofu cubed
1 Cup Shredded Red Cabbage

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the shallots and garlic over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Add the scallions, jalapeños, and ginger. Cook another 2-3 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, and ¼ cup of the pasta water. Whisk well.
If desired, use 2-3 tablespoons of the spicy sauce to pan-cook a block of tofu on medium-high heat until browned and crispy.
Add the cooked pasta to the pot with the sauce. Toss to combine. Heat 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining pasta water to make the mixture saucier.
If desired, add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss again.
Serve the pasta with the tofu and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
