Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice Noodles

    Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Combine Noodles and Tofu

    Add the soaked rice noodles and cooked tofu to the pan. Stir gently to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, peanut butter, and lime juice. Pour this mixture over the noodle and vegetable mix. Toss well to ensure everything is coated evenly.

    Finish with Garnishes

    Add bean sprouts, chopped green onions, and chili flakes. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
