Ingredients

1 lb fresh flat rice noodles (used homemade (see notes for store-bought))
4 oz firm tofu (sliced, pan-fried, and salted)
3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
1 to 2 cups roughly chopped gai lan (Chinese broccoli)
neutral oil (for cooking)
dash ground white pepper
Pickled chiles or red pepper flakes (see notes)
2½ tablespoons soy sauce (used Golden Mountain brand) (plus more to taste)
1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce (see notes) (plus more to taste)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon thick caramel sauce* (or ½ teaspoon dark soy sauce)

Steps

First, prepare the sauce by combining the soy sauce, vegan fish sauce, sugar, and thick caramel sauce (or dark soy sauce) in a bowl. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Cut the homemade flat rice noodles into 1-inch-wide ribbons. See notes on how to handle store-bought fresh noodles.
Heat a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the gai lan, tofu, and toss to combine.
Add the noodles and sauce. Toss the noodles until all of them are coated. (You may use a spatula or chopsticks to help if needed.)
Spread out the noodles and let cook, untouched, to char the noodles a little, 1 to 2 minutes. This step is to give the noodles the wok aroma and flavor.
Taste and season with more soy sauce or vegan fish sauce if needed. Add the ground pepper, then serve with pickled chiles and their vinegar or red pepper flakes.

I should have read the comments before making this. The flavoring of this was fairly good, but the ratio of noodles to the rest of the ingredients was way too much. We made it for Christmas dinner wanting to try something new, but ended up being somewhat disappointed. Too many noodles! I might try it again and decrease the amount of noodles and definitely increase the sauce!
