Cooking Steps

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
To a large pot, add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
Thinly slice celery crosswise.
Thinly slice green onions.
Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) ginger. (NOTE: Add more ginger if you like it tangy!)

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then celery. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften.
Add peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
Remove from heat. Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high.
When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu.
Cook for 6-7 min, stirring occasionally, until tofu is browned all over.
Sprinkle 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar over top. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until tofu is dark golden.

To the pan with tofu, add Gravy Spice Blend, garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until aromatics are fragrant and tofu is coated.
Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water, vegetarian oyster sauce and half the chili-garlic sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, cook for 1-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat, then add veggies. Season with pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.

Meanwhile, add chow mein noodles to the boiling water. Cook for 1-2 min, uncovered until tender. Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) noodle cooking water.
Drain noodles, then rinse under warm water. Return noodles to the same pot. Using a pair of scissors, cut up noodles in the pot.
Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and half the green onions, then toss to combine.
Cover to keep warm.

To the pot with chow mein, add tofu, veggies, sauce and reserved noodle cooking water.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to combine. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
Divide chili-garlic tofu noodles and any remaining sauce in the pot between plates.
Sprinkle with crispy shallots and remaining green onions.
Drizzle remaining chili-garlic sauce over top.

If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Cook for 6-7 min, stirring occasionally, until tofu is browned all over. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
