Directions
- To prepare the soup, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the vegetable broth, ginger, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sambal. Allow to simmer 15 min to mingle the flavors.
- To prepare the tofu steaks, cut the tofu block lengthwise, then cut in half to make 4 slabs. Lay several layers of paper towels on a cutting board then place the tofu, side by side, on top. Cover the steaks with more paper towels and press down to drain out some of the water in the curd (making it denser and hold together better when cooked.)
- Combine the bread crumbs, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper. Dip each piece of tofu into the beaten Large eggs then dredge in the seasoned bread crumbs to coat.
- Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu steaks 4 min each side. Remove to a platter lined with fresh paper towels.
- Add in sesame oil to the skillet, stir-fry the ginger and garlic with the chili for 2 min to build a base flavor. Add in the broccoli and saute/fry 3 min till it begins to soften, season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the udon noodles and spicy broth among 4 bowls. Add in the broccoli then lay a piece of tofu on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of green onions, cilantro, and peanuts before serving.
