Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams High-protein spaghetti or noodles
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 8 stalks Scallions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce
- 30 milliliters Sesame oil
- 15 milliliters Honey
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 50 grams Peanuts
- 15 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by boiling a pot of water and cook the high-protein noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
Chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts. Finely mince the garlic cloves.
In the same pan, add the sesame oil. Once heated, add the chopped white parts of the scallions and minced garlic. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the sautéed scallions and garlic. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes, tossing everything to combine well.
Reintroduce the cooked tofu into the pan, mixing gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Toast the peanuts in a small dry pan over medium heat until they become aromatic and slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Roughly chop them.
Serve the noodles hot, garnished with toasted peanuts and the green parts of the scallions as a refreshing and zesty topping.
