Tofu Stir Fry Noodles Recipe
Enjoy a flavorful tofu stir fry with brown rice noodles, crisp vegetables, and a hint of garlic, topped with peanuts and lime.
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
- 1/4 cup water
- 2-3 tablespoons white vinegar
Instructions
- SAUCE: Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and white vinegar together in a bowl until smooth.
- NOODLES: Soak brown rice noodles in a bowl of warm water according to package directions until tender.
- TOFU: Press tofu to remove excess water, then cut into cubes. Fry tofu in a nonstick skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add a little sauce to get a nice browned crust. Transfer to a bowl.
- VEGGIES: In the same pan, add chopped vegetables and minced garlic with a little more olive oil. Stir fry over medium-high heat until tender-crisp.
- COMBINE: Add the cooked noodles and fried tofu to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything.
- TOSS & SERVE: Toss gently to coat all ingredients with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.
Notes
- Pressing the tofu is key for achieving a crispy exterior.
- Don't overcook the vegetables; they should remain tender-crisp.
- Adjust the sauce to your preference by adding more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tang. Allergens: Soybeans, Wheat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
