This dish has all the umami-rich and crisp-tender qualities we love about classic takeout and none of the greasy, sodium-bomb qualities we don’t. Wavy, deep yellow Chinese egg noodles can be found in the refrigerated section of any Asian market and many supermarkets. You can substitute any refrigerated fresh pasta or even brown rice noodles, just make sure to boil until just al dente. Sliced baby bok choy, carrots, and snap peas would also be delicious here—just remember to add the vegetables in stages, going from hard and dense to leafy and tender—so all can cook to the perfect doneness.
How to Make It

Combine stock and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat.

Add cabbage and soy sauce; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add stock mixture and edamame to pan; cook 3 minutes. Add noodles and tofu; toss to combine. Divide tofu mixture among 4 shallow bowls.
