INSTRUCTIONS
Bring large pot of salted water to a boil for noodles. Combine lemon juice, tahini, just half the sugar, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and 1 tbsp warm water in large bowl. Whisk dressing until smooth. Stir in basil and set aside.
Combine tofu, cornstarch, Aleppo, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to coat tofu. 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.
