  2. Drain the noodles and keep them aside.
  3. Take 1 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp liquid smoke, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar in a small bowl and give them a good mix. You may call it the sauce mixture for this recipe.
  4. Take a large skillet and apply a generous coat of butter (¼ cup, divided), and put it on medium heat.
  5. Once the butter starts to melt, place the drained and pressed tofu until it becomes brown on all sides.
  6. Pour in the sauce mixture on the tofu (7 ounces) and cook until the mixture dries. Shift the tofu to a plate.
  7. Add more butter (remaining) to the same skillet and add the chopped cabbage and onions. Sauté until tender. Add garlic and cook until you get a whiff of that nice aroma.
  8. Add the tofu, noodles, sauerkraut (optional), and caraway (optional) to the skillet and cook for two to three minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley, chives, or both.
  10. And your Vegan Haluski recipe is ready to serve. 

Chef Tip: Egg noodles are traditionally used in the Haluski. However, for a Vegan Haluski recipe, you can use eggless noodles. And if you need it to be gluten-free, you may also use mung bean noodles.
