At least once a week I will make this tofu yakisoba, because it is so delicious and easy to make. It is one of my favorite dishes right now. We'll gobble it down from a large bowl with chopsticks, and Sebastian will grab handfuls with his hands, half ending up on the floor.
Broccoli Rabe and Maple Glazed Salmon Bibimbap
Bibimbap is probably one of the most well known Korean dishes. There are many variations of the dish, but I prefer mine with marinated salmon and veggies. To this dish, I added some steamed then fried broccoli rabe in soy sauce and olive oil and then sprinkled with sesame seeds, some fresh carrots, red pepper, avocado and green onions for garnish.

1 tbsp ginger, grated and squeezed
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp white wine

In a frying pan or wok, heat the olive oil on medium, making sure the oil does not burn. Add the tempeh to the oil and fry for five minutes until golden. Turn the tempeh over and then continue to fry the other side for five minutes until golden.
Pour the orange juice mixture over the tempeh and simmer for 10 minutes, turning the tempeh once. Continue to simmer until the sauce forms a sticky glaze. Add the broccoli and mango to the tempeh. Place a lid on the wok and steam the broccoli until bright green and crunchy. Plate the stir fry over rice.
