Ingredients

1 1/2 tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp asafoetida (aka hing)
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp grated ginger
1 cup julienne carrots
3/4 cup diced red peppers
1 cup julienne zucchini
1/2 cup corn kernels
2 cup dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked in warm water until rehydrated then sliced in half. Can also use fresh shiitake mushrooms.)
1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli
1 tbsp red soybean paste
1 tsp vegetarian hoisin sauce
2 cup vegetable broth
2 tsp Thai red curry paste
1 tbsp natural chunky peanut butter
3 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 package fried tofu balls (Tofu Superior Fried Tofu Ball brand- Tofu Puffs. Cut in 4.)
3/4 cup whole unsalted cashews
1 package Cantonese noodles (I used 454g Culinasian Cantonese noodles)
3 tbsp chopped coriander for topping (aka cilantro)
canola oil and sesame oil for roasting noodles
2 tsp soy sauce
may add additional salt to taste
2 tbsp chopped peanuts for topping

Instructions

1
Heat canola oil and sesame oil on medium high heat in a wok. Add ginger and hing and roast until golden brown (1-2mins).
2
Add carrots, red pepper, zucchini, corn and mushrooms. Allow to cook until softened (5-7mins).
3
Add soybean paste, hoisin sauce, broth, red curry paste, peanut butter, soy sauce and mint and allow to cook for 2-3 mins. Add tofu and allow to cook for 5 mins. The tofu will soak up much of the liquid. Add broccoli and allow to cook for another 1 minute. Then add vegetable mixture to a large serving bowl.
4
While vegetables are cooking, boil water in a large pot. Once boiled add noodles and cook according to package. I flash boiled my noodles for 1 min then strained and washed in cold water for 1 min.
5
Heat up wok with 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp canola oil on medium high heat. Once heated add half the noodles and while mixing roast noodles for 1-2 mins. Then add 1-2 tsp soy sauce and mix (depending on salt taste desire). Remove from pan and add to the vegetable mixture. Repeat this step with the second half of the noodles.
6
Add cashews and stir to combine completely. Serve hot topped with coriander and chopped peanuts (optional).
