Ingredients
Tofu
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 ½ tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp sriracha
Veggies/Noodles
- 12 ounces brown rice noodles
- 2 cups chopped broccoli
- 1 small bunch asparagus
- 2 cups edamame
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp tahini
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.
- Remove the tofu from the package and drain off excess liquid. Wrap in a towel and place a heavy object on top. Press for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the towel and chop into 1 inch cubes.
- Add the oil to a skillet and once hot, add in the tofu, keeping each piece away from each other to really help it crisp up. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until brown and crispy.
- Whisk together the soy sauce and sriracha, pour on top of the tofu and let simmer over low heat to let the flavors absorb.
- Meanwhile, add the garlic, ginger and olive oil to another pan and saute until the garlic is golden brown.
- Add the chopped broccoli, edamame, asparagus and vegetable broth and cover. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is fork tender, but not fully cooked.
- Add in all remaining ingredients (aside from the scallions) and the cooked noodles. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the noodles and veggies to absorb the flavors.
- Combine with the tofu and scallions. Garnish with chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds.
Notes
You can use virtually any vegetables you like. I wanted to keep it green, but cauliflower, cabbage, bell peppers, bean sprouts are all delicious.
You can swap the tahini for peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
