Equipment

  • Stovetop Pan
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Tofu

  • ½ 14 oz extra firm tofu block water removed and cubed // press the water out by wrapping and squeezing it in a towel - not hard enough to break it, but just enough to drain the moisture before cubing it
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • ½ tsp chili garlic sauce
  • ¼ tsp rice vinegar

For the Veggies

  • ¼ cup bean sprouts
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ carrot shredded
  • ⅓ cup lettuce chopped
  • ¼ cup purple cabbage shredded
  • 2 mini sweet red/yellow/orange peppers sliced lengthwise

For the Noodles

  • ¼ pack dry vermicelli rice noodles about 113 grams
  • ½ inch ginger, finely grated
  • 1 large garlic clove finely grated
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste

For the Topping

  • 2 tbsp roasted peanuts crushed
  • slice of lemon

Instructions
 

For the Tofu

  • Take the cubed tofu and toss it with the cornstarch in a bowl.
  • Turn on a stovetop pan over medium heat, and add the sesame oil to it.
  • Whisk together the last 4 ingredients from the tofu section above in a small bowl.
  • Once the oil is hot on the pan, add the tofu and the whisked items.
  • Stir fry them together for a few minutes, until the tofu is starting to brown and get crispy. Once you can see that, remove it from the heat.

For the Noodles

  • Boil the 1/4 pack of noodles according to the instructions on the package.
  • Whisk together the rest of the items under the noodle ingredients above until they form a sauce.
  • Once the noodles are cooked, pour this sauce over them. If there is extra sauce left that you don't want to use on your noodles, pour them over your veggies instead.

To Assemble

  • Chop all the items under the veggies ingredients above.
  • To arrange, put the noodles, crispy tofu, and raw veggies in a circle all around a shallow bowl. This should take up all the space, and the remainder of the items can go in the center of the bowl. It depends how big your bowl is, but this recipe made two bowls for me.
  • Top with roasted peanuts and a slice of lemon.
  • Enjoy right away!
