Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Chopped peanuts (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until crispy on all sides.
  3. Add garlic and vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, green onions). Stir-fry for about 3–4 minutes until tender.
  4. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, and sugar. Pour this sauce into the skillet and stir to combine.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for soy sauce. Use smooth peanut butter for a silky sauce. Adjust sugar for preferred sweetness.
