Sesame Ramen

INSTRUCTIONS
Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until just al dente, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain noodles, rinse under cold water to stop cooking process, and set aside.
Combine tofu, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to coat. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated tofu and cook, tossing occasionally, until crispy and browned in places, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add sweet chili sauce, and toss to coat. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil) (TIP: For the 4-serving meal, crisp tofu in batches; add all the tofu back to the pan before adding sauce.)
Whisk together vinegar, tahini, garlic, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 2 tbsp warm water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl. Add cooked noodles and cucumber and toss to coat. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil, ¼ cup warm water)
Divide sesame ramen with cucumbers between bowls. Top with sticky chili tofu. Dig in!
