Eggplant Tofu Yaki Udon (GF)

In Japanese, "Yaki" means "cooked over direct heat" so a Yaki Udon is a Japanese stir-fry with udon noodles! This gluten-free recipe uses soy-free and vegan ingredients, and you won't miss the meat!

A few tips to make sure you get the full umami flavors: (1) Boil the noodles in salty water. (2) Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour is gluten-free BUT taste and texture are comparable to the best AP flour—no grainy/gritty texture. (3) Add the cooked tofu at the very end to keep its crispiness!
