2 cups bok choy, cleaned & separated

2. Meanwhile, saute tofu in nonstick pan or highly seasoned cast iron pan on medium low until golden, about 5-8 minutes
3. Mix sauce ingredients together and stir half of the mixture into the cooked tofu, saute 2-3 mins
4. Add bok choy, carrots, and daikon radish to boiling water for 1 min, scoop out and add to tofu pan
5. Add udon noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, about 8 mins
6. Continue to saute the veggies and tofu on low until the noodles are done
7. Add cooked noodles to saute pan and remaining sauce, saute for 2 mins

I was craving spicy tofu and I wanted to use my bok choy from the farmer's market, so I came up with this recipe. I used the same spicy sauce recipe from the Vegetarian Times article. I don't think I could ever tire of that recipe and it's perfect because I always have those ingredients on hand. My dish was not too spicy, so feel free to add more sriracha sauce. I usually leave the bottle on the table because I know Eric prefers his more spicy.
