Total Time 45 minutes mins
- 14 oz firm tofu pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2 carrots julienned
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 green onions chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Start by pressing your tofu for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture. While waiting, prepare your vegetables and mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Cook rice noodles according to package instructions, being careful not to overcook. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add remaining oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add carrots and broccoli, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes. Add bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes.
Return tofu to the pan, add the sauce, and toss to combine.
Add the cooked noodles and green onions, tossing everything together until well-coated and heated through.
