Peanut Sauce Soba Noodles
Ingrédients
Method
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced carrot and broccoli slaw. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, peanut butter, ginger, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), crushed red pepper, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Add the cooked soba noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and toss to coat everything evenly.
- Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and gently toss to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through
- Divide the noodles into bowls and top with sliced green onions and chopped dry-roasted peanuts. Serve warm, or chill for a refreshing cold noodle dish
