Vegan Rad Na (Rice Noodles with Gravy) - Good Old Vegan

Vegan Rad Na (Rice Noodles with Gravy)

Rad Na (rice noodles in brown gravy) is very similar to my fav Cantonese dish Wat Tan Hor ‘滑蛋河’ but with a touch of sweetness.

When I first came to the US, I miss flat rice noodles the most and was super excited when I saw this dish at a Thai restaurant. Fast forward to today, I can now make this dish in my own kitchen when cravings kick in so I don’t miss home food so much.

Sending loads of love to all of you, WoonHeng⁣❤️

Instructions

To prepare the tofu, massage tofu with the marinade & let sit for at least 20 minutes. Then, pan-fried them until golden brown on both sides.⁣
Noodles: If using fresh noodles, separate the noodles to loosen up the strands. Then, rub the noodles with sauce. Heat a non-stick pan, then add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add in the noodles and using a pair of tongs, toss noodles until you get a charred look. Remove from the pan and set aside.⁣
Using the same pan, add 3 teaspoons of oil and sauté garlic until aromatic. ⁣
Add broccoli, pan-fried tofu, and sauté for another 30 secs.⁣
Then, add sauce, taste test, and season accordingly.⁣
Using a spoon, slowly add the cornstarch slurry (added about 5 tablespoons) and let the mixture simmer until thickened.⁣
Finally, add the noodles and toss them with the sauce until all incorporated.⁣
