INGREDIENTS
300 grams Firm Tofu
1 ounce (28 grams) Rice Noodles
1 tablespoon Peanut Butter
50 grams Bean Sprouts
50 grams Red Bell Pepper
50 grams Carrot
1/2 Lime
1 Garlic Clove
1 teaspoon Chili Sauce
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until just tender, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, juice from half a lime, minced garlic, and chili sauce to create a light, tangy sauce.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until all sides are golden and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper and carrot to the pan, stirring briefly to soften them slightly while maintaining a crunch.
Toss in the cooked rice noodles and bean sprouts, then drizzle the prepared peanut-lime sauce over the mixture.
Gently combine all ingredients ensuring the sauce evenly coats the tofu, noodles, and vegetables.
Plate the dish and garnish with additional lime wedges or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
