2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 tablespoons dark sesame oil

1 cup cubed extra-firm tofu (about 4 ounces)

1/4 cup chopped peeled fresh lemon grass

2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger

absorbed. Stir in the reserved porcini mushrooms.

 

Heat sesame oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet. Add tofu, lemon grass,

ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add zucchini, button

mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add bok choy,

and stir-fry 3 minutes or until wilted.

 

Divide noodle mixture evenly among 4 shallow bowls, and top with zucchini

mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro.
