Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together seasoning, water, ketchup, and soy sauce. Set aside.  
  2. Using a paper towel or clean kitchen towel, gently squeeze as much liquid from the tofu as possible. Using a box grater, grate tofu over large holes. It’s OK if some of the block crumbles.  
  3. In Wok, heat 12 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add half the grated tofu and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until crisp and golden, 5 min. Remove from wok and place in a bowl or on a plate. Heat remaining 12 tbsp oil and repeat process with remaining tofu. Once the second batch of tofu is golden, return first batch of tofu to wok.  
  4. Add edamame and snow peas. Stir-fry until snow peas are tender-crisp, 1 min.  
  5. Turn off the heat, add sauce, and stir gently to coat.  
  6. Divide between four bowls, top with spinach, and serve with rice noodles, if desired.
Tips

This dish isn’t particularly saucy—if you prefer a saucier stir-fry, simply add a bit more water or vegetable broth, 1 tbsp at a time, to the sauce once you’ve added it to the Wok.
