INGREDIENTS
250g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1.75 oz (50g) Rice Noodles (dry)
1 Tbsp Peanut Butter
0.33 cup Shelled Edamame
1 cup Mixed Bell Pepper and Carrot
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
1 Tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Sesame Oil
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Cornstarch the tofu cubes lightly to create a crispy coating.
Heat a non-stick pan with a drizzle of sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté the tofu until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
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, lime juice, soy sauce, grated garlic, grated ginger, and a couple of tablespoons of warm water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
In the same pan, lightly stir-fry the mixed bell pepper, carrot, and shelled edamame for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles to the vegetables, then pour the peanut sauce over. Gently toss to combine and coat the noodles evenly.
Fold in the crispy tofu and give a final gentle mix to distribute flavors. Adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or lime if needed.
Plate the dish and serve warm, garnished with extra fresh lime wedges or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
