Sesame Tofu Noodles

Internship has been super busy so I haven't had time to post much...but I have been cooking, so I'll try to get the new recipes uploaded over the weekend. This recipe is a slightly adapted version of this one; it was really easy and packed a lot of flavor...plus it was great for lunch the next day.


Ingredients (makes 4-5 servings)
-6 garlic cloves, minced
-3 T sugar (I used light brown, but white would be fine)
-6 T rice vinegar
-6 T soy sauce
-2 T sesame oil
~5 green onions, diced
-4 T toasted sesame seeds
-one 16oz package angel hair spaghetti
-one package firm tofu, drained and cut into bite size pieces

(Note: I bought toasted sesame seeds, but if yours are raw you can toast them on a cookie sheet in a a 350 degree oven for about 5 mins.)
Steps
1. Place the garlic, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and oil in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. Turn off heat.
2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot. About 4 mins before the pasta is done, add the tofu to the pot so that it gets heated up.
3. Drain your pasta and tofu and quickly rinse with warm water.
4. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the drained pasta and tofu, top with sesame seeds and chopped green onion, and toss well.
