Veggie Lo Mein and Roasted Tomato Bisque

Vegetable Lo Mein and Tofu w. Sesame-Garlic Sauce

• Heat a little oil in a large non-stick or well seasoned pan. When smoking hot add the vegetables. Stir and fry allowing them to wilt and brown lightly. Season with a little salt. Transfer to a serving dish. Larger shares should work in batches.

• Reheat and oil the pan. When the oil is hot add the noodles ( again larger shares work in batches ). Allow the noodles to brown lightly then stir and fry a little more. Fold in the vegetables to combine. Toss, serve.

• Reheat the pan over medium to medium low ( it should already be quite hot ). Shake up the tofu and sauce well to get the starch fully in suspension. Carefully tip the entire contents of the jar into the hot pan. It will spit and sputter as the tofu heats through and the sauce reduces. Allow about 1- 2 minutes for the sauce to fully tighten and coat the tofu. Adjust the heat as necessary to keep it simmering. Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt if needed. Serve beside the lo mein.
