INGREDIENTS
2 oz rice noodles (dry)
150g extra-firm tofu
1 tbsp peanut butter
0.75 cup cooked shelled edamame
1/2 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1 small carrot, julienned
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
0.5 tsp sesame oil
PREPARATION
Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Boil water and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet, add a minimal drizzle of oil and pan-fry the tofu cubes over medium-high heat until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Add a splash of water to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Warm gently while stirring until well-blended.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked rice noodles with the creamy peanut-ginger sauce. Add in the crispy tofu, cooked edamame, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasonings with extra soy sauce, lime juice, or a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
