8 ounces rice noodles or long cut pasta
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp chili paste (I use sambal oelek)
1 Tbsp Thai curry paste
2 inches fresh ginger, grated
4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
2 carrots, shredded
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
Juice from 1 lime
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 mango, sliced
1 cup shelled, edamame
8 ounces Extra Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed
2 Tbsp sesame oil 

 

DIRECTIONS

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain.

  • Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the tofu and cook, turning on its sides, until golden, about 10-15 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, chili paste, curry paste, ginger, garlic, and 1/2 cup water. Pulse until combined and smooth. Pour the sauce over the hot noodles. Add the lime juice, basil, cilantro, carrots, bell peppers, and mangos. Toss to combine.

  • Add the tofu to the pasta mixture and stir to combine.
