Instructions
- 1
Press the tofu: Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top for at least 15-20 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- 2
Prepare the crispy tofu: In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- 3
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- 4
Make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using) until smooth and creamy. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.
- 5
Combine: In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, peanut sauce, crispy tofu, blanched broccoli, and shredded carrots. Toss gently until everything is well coated.
- 6
Serve: Divide the noodle mixture among bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and roasted peanuts. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 35g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 10g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
If you have a wok, use it. The high heat and shape create better texture and flavor development than a regular pan.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
