Ingredients
Main Dish
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • ½ block super firm tofu, drained and chopped into cubes*
  • 1 cup/8oz. rice noodles
  • 1 medium head of broccoli, very small chopped florets
  • 2 large zucchini, spiralized
  • ½ small red pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 green onions, chopped small
Sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
Toppings
  • ½ cup peanuts
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook your tofu until browned on all sides, 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add your rice noodles and cook according to package directions.
  3. While your noodles are cooking, heat another tbsp of olive oil in the same large pan you used for the tofu. Then add in your broccoli, zucchini and red pepper. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until softened. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two more. Drain the rice noodles and add to the pan of veggies. Add the tofu, as well, and toss everything together.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until well combined. Pour all over the noodles, veggies and tofu.
  5. Divide between bowls, and top with peanuts, sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
*Use soy-free tofu to make this dish soy-free.
