Accidental Noodles (Kimchee Noodles)

This dish was accidental. I was aiming to make a kimchee soup and then I started getting carried away. When I added the noodles I didn't think they would soak up all the remaining liquid. It was a pleasant surprise.

Spicy Kimchee Noodles with Tofu

Ingredients

1 cup loosely packed kimchee (check ingredients some have shrimp or fish) I used King's from Whole Foods
1/2 package of firm tofu cut into cubes
4 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 Tbs Toasted Sesame Oil
1/2 tsp of Gochujang (hot pepper paste)
1 Tbs olive oil
2/3 package of Bean Threads. I used Ka-Me.
1/3 cup of TVP (textured vegetable protein. Mine is Gluten Free.
8 cups of water



Directions:

1. Fry Kimchee in a dutch oven in 1 Tbs or less olive oil and 1/2 tsp of Gochuang
2. Add 8 cups of water, 4 TBS soy sauce, 1 Tbs Sesame oil
3. Add TVP and tofu
4. Cook on medium until the liquid is reduced and the contents look like stew not soup.
5. Soak Bean threads for 15 minutes in plain water. Rinse and then
6. throw into the pot. The beans will soak up the remaining liquid.

Enjoy.
