Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 200 grams extra-firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil)
Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry the carrots, red bell pepper, and broccoli for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but are still crisp.
Return the tofu to the skillet, followed by the cooked rice noodles. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the green onions and mung bean sprouts. Toss briefly to combine, then remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the stir-fried noodles hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
