Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Rice noodles
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
- 100 grams Snow peas, trimmed
- 1 medium Bell pepper, sliced
- 200 grams Tofu, firm, diced
- 2 units Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they are soft. Drain well and set aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Introduce diced tofu to the pan, lightly browning it on all sides for about 5 minutes.
In the same pan, stir in the carrot, cabbage, snow peas, and bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth and 4 tablespoons of soy sauce into the mixture, stirring to combine.
Add the softened rice noodles to the pan, tossing gently to ensure even coating and absorption of the broth.
Season with ground black pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the noodles have absorbed the majority of the liquid, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve with lemon wedges for an added zest.
