Holly's Shanghai Cheat Sesame Noodles

May 4, 2023 Lola Milholland

“Shanghainese adore their noodles, and at one of my favorite hole-in-the wall noodle shops, I loved getting sesame noodles. During Covid, when we were all stuck at home, I was rummaging in the fridge and had an epiphany for a hack to make my favorite noodles: I used sesame hummus! It brought back many happy memories.”

Pan-fried Tofu with Umi Yakisoba Sauce aka "teriyaki" tofu

October 31, 2022 Lola Milholland

This recipe is inspired by the wonderful Japanese classic agedashi tofu, but takes it in the direction of a teriyaki dish, coating the lightly fried tofu pieces in our Umi Organic yakisoba sauce. The tofu is not at all greasy—one of the miracles of this cooking technique. This is very easy to make and a textural treat. I like keeping the tofu pieces large so you get to enjoy their contrasting textures after frying. I typically eat this over rice but it would be great over Umi noodles in a miso sesame sauce.

Colorful Noodle Bowl with Roasted Vegetables, Mushrooms, and Pickled Radish

November 5, 2019 Lola Milholland
umi_miso_sauce_pink_065.jpg

This is less of a recipe than a template you can adapt. This bowl has one roasted item (beautiful romanesco, which is in the cauliflower and broccoli family), one quick pickle (red radishes), a simple protein (fried tofu), and a sautéed item (chanterelle mushrooms). That may seem like a lot of steps for one dinner but think of it as a pallet you can choose a few colors from.

Cold Sesame Noodle Salad

May 9, 2018 Lola Milholland
IMG_2143.jpeg

This 20-minute dish was inspired by the fried chicken salad at Basilisk in Portland, but it’s equally good (maybe even better!) as a vegetarian meal with fried tofu. Leave off the egg and it’s vegan. It’s fast, satisfying, and perfect for a hot day.

Lola's Favorite Dinner aka Kinda Mapo Tofu

September 29, 2017 Lola Milholland
IMG_5138 2.jpg

I have often thought to myself, while eating this dinner, 'I could eat this every night!' That's how much I love it. Fried ground pork plays off of the tender tofu. There's spicy chilies and fresh green onion. This recipe came about because I started making mapo tofu, but over time adapted it to what I always have in my kitchen and what I know I love. And so this is kinda mapo tofu, and it is great!

Mee Goreng aka Indonesian Fried Noodles

March 11, 2017 Lola Milholland

Mee Goreng is everyday street food in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. These simple and quick panfried noodles get coated in a caramelizing “sauce” made by sambal oelek (chile-garlic paste), soy sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind. This is really complex tasting, thanks to the curry powder and sambal oelek. It gets extra wonderful thanks to fresh greens and crispy shallots. It works equally well with tofu or shrimp, so you can easily make it vegan.

Kimchi Stew Over Noodles

January 6, 2017 Lola Milholland
kimchi stew-091.jpg

Kimchi stew is for kimchi lovers. The long simmer makes everything uniform and bright. The tofu is working some magic, we think. It is the perfect medium for taking up all that kimchi pungency and transforming the resulting stew into something strangely delicate.

Weekday Vegetarian Miso Ramen

November 20, 2016 Lola Milholland
Umi_Miso_Ramen4.jpg

This vegetarian miso ramen is extremely flexible. The basic idea is to make a quick 5-minute miso flavor base that transforms good stock into lip-smacking ramen broth. Store-bought stock is also a good substitute, and all toppings and garnishes are up to you.
