Firecracker Tofu Lo Mein
with Green Bean & Firecracker Sauce
- Wheat
- Soy
- Eggs
- Milk
Lo mein noodles are tossed with lightly browned tofu, tender green beans, and scallion whites in a savory soy and chili sauce, finished with a touch of butter for richness. The real star is the creamy firecracker sauce—a blend of mayonnaise, chili sauce, and Sriracha—drizzled over the top for a spicy, cooling contrast.

Cooking Steps
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Trim green beans if necessary; cut crosswise into 2-inch-long pieces. Trim scallions; cut whites into 1-inch pieces and thinly slice greens. Peel and mince or grate ginger.
Open and drain tofu; press out excess water with paper towels. Halve crosswise, then stand tofu upright and halve vertically. Lay flat and cut into ¾-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, half the chili sauce (you'll use the rest later), and as much Sriracha as you like.
Set aside until ready to serve.
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
While noodles cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu, green beans, scallion whites, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is lightly browned and veggies are tender, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.)
Add soy sauce, remaining chili sauce, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings) to pan with tofu and green beans; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is warmed through, 30-60 seconds.
Remove from heat.
To pan with tofu and green beans, add drained noodles and ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings). Toss to combine; taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Divide lo mein between shallow bowls. Drizzle with as much firecracker sauce as you like. Top with scallion greens and serve.
