# Steps:
01 -
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent overcooking.
02 -
Cut tofu into cubes and place in a bowl. Toss with corn starch to evenly coat. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides.
03 -
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Whisk well to blend.
04 -
Pour half of the stir-fry sauce over the crisp tofu in the pan. Toss to coat and cook until tofu absorbs the sauce and begins to caramelize. Transfer tofu to a bowl and set aside.
05 -
Return the skillet to heat and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add bell peppers, onion, jalapeño (if using), and carrot. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until vegetables are slightly charred and just tender.
06 -
Add cooked noodles and remaining stir-fry sauce to the skillet with vegetables. Toss well to ensure even coating and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until the sauce is absorbed and noodles are heated through.
07 -
Return caramelized tofu to the skillet and toss with noodles and vegetables until heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onion, basil, and additional sesame seeds.
# Notes:
01 -
