Pan-Seared Tofu With Udon Noodles & Red Swiss Chard

So, I love pan-seared tofu. I could just eat it plain and be a happy camper. But, probably not the best idea if I wanna get all my nutrients.

Denise made the suggestion this afternoon that supper involve tofu, greens and udon noodles. I said 'sure, I can whip up the coolest stuff. Leave it with me, little Dekneeknee' ( Denise's nickname, long story).

It looks weird and a little un-appetizing, but was totally good. Just maybe don't eat it while watching an episode of 'Firefly' that has reavers in it.

Pan-Seared Tofu With Udon Noodles & Red Swiss Chard

1 block tofu 350 g
3 tbsp canola oil
2 packages Udon noodles
1 head red Swiss chard (or other greens)
4 tbsp BBQ sauce
4 tbsp water
1 tsp Franks Red Hot Sauce
1 tbsp lime juice

Heat oil in fry pan on medium heat. Cut tofu in about 1" blocks, 1/4" thick, and place flat side down. When browned, flip, sear other side. My pan is steel, so tofu got kinda stuck, but I prefer not having the crap in the non-stick pans. I will deal with some messy tofu.

Tear and rinse greens, set aside. Boil water, pour on noodles in bowl( take out of package first, ha ha) leave a few minutes.

In a small bowl, combine last 4 ingredients.

When tofu is done on both sides, throw everything in the pan. You might need to add the greens in stages, as it will cook down.

Heat through. Serve.
