Back Pocket Noodle Stir Fry

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces brown rice noodles
  • 1 14 oz package tofu
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 3-4 cup chopped vegetables (I used a pre-chopped fresh stir fry mix)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • peanuts, cilantro, and lime for serving
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2-3 tablespoons white vinegar, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste, to taste

Instructions

SAUCE: Shake all sauce ingredients together until smooth. NOODLES: Soak rice noodles in a bowl of warm water. TOFU: Press tofu with paper towels to remove water. Cut tofu into cubes. In a nonstick skillet over medium high heat, fry tofu with a little olive oil until golden brown. Add a little sauce to get a nice browned crust. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. VEGGIES: In the same pan, add veggies and garlic and another swish of oil. Stir fry over medium high heat until tender-crisp. ASSEMBLE: Drain the noodles. Add them to the pan with the veggies. Add about half the sauce and stir-fry until throughly mixed. Add tofu. Top with peanuts, cilantro, and lime.

Servings: 4 servings
