_{Make sure to break-up the onions.}

_{Do not burn the garlic.}

4.Add the cabbage. Mix everything then add water.

_{Mix all together.}

_{Add at least 2 cups of water.}

5.Wait for it to boil then add the noodles. Make sure all noodles are soaked and soften in the water.

_{Add 1/4 kilo of dried noodles.}

_{Slowly break the noodles and mix with water.}

6.Add the soy sauce depending on your preference. Mix all together. Wait until the noodle absorbed most of the liquid then add the sauteed broccoli and fried tofu.

_{Add the proteins.}

7.Mix all together making sure that the broccoli and tofu are covered with the sauce of the noodles. Then add the green onions.

_{To add more fragrance to the dish!}

_{Make sure everything is mix together.}

8.Once done, plate your noodles and top the dish with sliced green onions and roasted sesame seeds.

Notes:
1.You can also add more vegetables to the noodles such as peas, bean sprouts, carrots, or maybe cauliflower instead of broccoli.
2.You can also skip the cornstarch for the tofu and fry it directly but it's nice to have some cornstarch to add some crunch to the tofu.
3.You can also add some hoisin sauce and sesame oil to the dish to add more Asian flavors to it.
