  • <strong>Optional Toppings</strong>

Instructions

  1. Marinate the tofu : Gently press the tofu in a tea towel to remove excess water, then grate the full block. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup sriracha (or spicy sauce of choice), rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until well mixed. Add the grated tofu to the bowl and gently toss to coat the tofu evenly with the sauce. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Cook the noodles : While the tofu is marinating cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  3. Cook the tofu : Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the heated through and slightly crispy. Set aside.
  4. Chop your veggies : Gather all the veggies and chop them to your preference.
  5. Make the peanut sauce : In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in red chili flakes to taste.
  6. Assemble: Divide the cooked rice noodles among four bowls (about 1/2 cup cooked noodles each bowl). Top with mixed greens, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, cilantro, mint, and basil. Add the cooked tofu to each bowl. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the top. Garnish with optional toppings.
  7. Enjoy: Serve and enjoy!
