Why You’ll Love These Shallot Noodles

A quick dinner with plenty of flavor

There’s something especially satisfying about a dinner that looks and tastes like you spent much more time making it than you actually did. GloryLand Shallot Stir Fry Meal Kit helps make that possible. Instead of measuring out a long list of ingredients for a stir-fry sauce, the kit gives you the noodles and shallot sauce together, making it easy to get dinner on the table.

For this recipe, the noodles stay front and center while the tofu and broccolini roast separately. That simple approach gives you contrasting textures and a more polished presentation.

GloryLand Makes Dinner Easy

The GloryLand Shallot Stir Fry Meal Kit is a convenient shortcut for busy weeknights. You get the noodles and shallot sauce in one package, so there’s less measuring, chopping, and sauce-making involved.

And while this recipe pairs the noodles with crispy tofu and roasted broccolini, that’s only one possibility. The meal kit makes a versatile base for all kinds of combinations. Pair the shallot noodles with your favorite protein and vegetables for an easy dinner that can change depending on what you’re in the mood for or what you have on hand.

Try swapping the tofu for chicken, shrimp, salmon, or another favorite protein. You can also replace the broccolini with broccoli, asparagus, green beans, bell peppers, snap peas, or whatever vegetables you have available.

What You’ll Need

GloryLand Shallot Stir Fry Meal Kit

The meal kit is the shortcut that makes this recipe so easy. Simply prepare the noodles according to the package directions and toss them with the included shallot sauce.

Extra-Firm Tofu

Extra-firm tofu works particularly well because it can become wonderfully crisp in the oven. The key is pressing out as much moisture as possible before seasoning it.

Broccolini

Roasting gives broccolini tender stems and beautifully charred edges. It also adds a fresh vegetable component to the savory noodles.

Tamari and Sesame Oil

Gluten-free tamari adds savory depth, while toasted sesame oil brings a nutty, aromatic flavor to the tofu.

Cornstarch

A light coating of cornstarch helps the tofu develop a crisp exterior as it roasts.

Fresh Finishes

Sesame seeds, green onions, Fresno chili, and lime brighten the finished dish. For those who like some heat, a drizzle of chili crisp takes it to another level.

How to Make Shallot Noodles with Crispy Tofu

1. Get the tofu extra dry

Start by pressing the tofu between layers of paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. This is an important step because drier tofu has a much better chance of becoming crisp in the oven.

Cut the tofu into ½-inch cubes and transfer it to a bowl.

2. Season the tofu

Toss the tofu with avocado oil, gluten-free tamari, toasted sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Then sprinkle it with cornstarch, salt, and pepper and toss again until every piece is evenly coated.

That combination gives the tofu plenty of savory flavor while the cornstarch helps create its crispy exterior.

3. Roast the tofu and broccolini

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the tofu on one side of the pan and toss the broccolini with the remaining avocado oil before arranging it on the other side.

Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the tofu and turn the broccolini. Continue roasting for another 8–10 minutes, until the tofu is deeply golden and crisp and the broccolini has tender stems and nicely charred edges.

Cooking both components on one baking sheet keeps things simple and cuts down on cleanup.

4. Prepare the shallot noodles

While the tofu and broccolini roast, prepare the GloryLand Shallot Stir Fry according to the package directions.

Toss the cooked noodles with the included shallot sauce until they’re glossy and evenly coated.

5. Build the bowls

Divide the noodles between two shallow bowls. Instead of tossing the tofu and broccolini into the noodles, arrange them on top.

This small presentation trick makes a big difference. You can see the glossy shallot noodles, golden tofu, and charred broccolini rather than having everything blend together.

Finish with sesame seeds and green onions. Add thinly sliced Fresno chili for some heat and serve with lime wedges.

For an extra-spicy finish, drizzle with chili crisp.

Tips for Crispy Tofu

Press the tofu well

Don’t rush this step. The more moisture you remove, the easier it is for the outside of the tofu to crisp in the oven.

Don’t skip the cornstarch

The cornstarch creates a thin coating around the tofu that helps it develop that crave-worthy crispness. If you can’t have cornstarch, arrowroot starch works well as a replacement.

Give the tofu room

Spread the cubes out on the baking sheet rather than piling them together. Space allows the hot oven air to circulate around the tofu.

Easy Ways to Customize Your Shallot Noodles

One of the best things about a meal kit like GloryLand Shallot Stir Fry is how easy it is to make it your own.

Add chicken

Use bite-size pieces of chicken instead of tofu for a simple protein-packed dinner.

Try shrimp

Quick-cooking shrimp are an especially good match for shallot noodles. Add roasted or sautéed shrimp and finish with lime and chili crisp.

Use salmon

Roasted salmon turns the noodles into a more substantial dinner and pairs beautifully with the savory shallot sauce.

Change the vegetables

Don’t have broccolini? No problem. Try:

• Broccoli
• Asparagus
• Green beans
• Snap peas
• Bell peppers
• Mushrooms
• Brussels sprouts
• Baby bok choy

You can roast sturdy vegetables alongside the tofu or quickly sauté more delicate vegetables.
