Equipment

  • Large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 cup firm tofu or diced chicken breast
  • Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms preferably shiitake or crimini, sautéed or raw
  • 1/2 cup snap peas thinly julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets optional
  • 1 bag Trader Joe's baby corn halved lengthwise
  • 1 package Trader Joe's Thai Wheat Noodles
  • 1/2 cup Trader Joe's General Tso's Stir Fry Sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or water
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • Crushed peanuts or cashews for garnish optional
  • Sesame seeds for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop your garlic and ginger first—it’s the base of your flavor. Then, cut your tofu or chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Thai wheat noodles and cook them per the instructions on the package. Typically, this takes about 5 minutes until they're tender yet firm. Drain them and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant. Keep an eye on them; you don't want to burn them.
  • Next, toss in the cubed tofu or diced chicken. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Now it's time for the vegetables! Add the sliced mushrooms, snap peas, and broccoli florets (if using). Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
  • Add the drained noodles to the pan. Pour in the General Tso's Stir Fry Sauce and vegetable broth. Toss everything together, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Once everything is heated, transfer your creation to bowls. Top with sliced green onions, crushed peanuts, or sesame seeds for that extra crunch.

Notes

  • Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Keep a watchful eye on them. You want them al dente, not mushy.
  • Customize Ingredients: Use any vegetables you have on hand. This recipe is flexible!
  • Extra Sauce: Feel free to add more sauce if you enjoy a flavorful coating.
  • Protein Options: Switch the tofu for shrimp, beef, or tempeh based on your preference.
  • Make It Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha if you like some heat.
