Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook for 10 to 11 minutes until al dente. While the noodles cook, prepare the tofu. When the noodles are almost finished, add the bok choy to the pot and cook for 1 minute until tender. Drain, reserving a splash of the noodle water. Done when noodles are al dente and bok choy is bright green.
Season the tofu with the salt and black pepper. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat with a light coating of cooking spray. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 minutes more until golden brown. Done when golden brown and crisp.
Place the garlic, half the green onions, and the red pepper flakes in a small heatproof bowl. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat for 2 minutes until it just begins to shimmer, then carefully pour the hot oil over the garlic mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk the soy sauce into the garlic chili oil. Add the drained noodles, bok choy, and seared tofu. Toss well to coat, adding a spoonful of the reserved noodle water if needed to loosen the sauce. Top with the remaining green onions.
