- 8 oz Soaked Rice Noodle (I used the brand ‘A Taste of Thai’)
- 1/4 Cup Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
Instructions
Rice Noodles
- Soak the rice noodles for 20 minutes in hot water.
Roasted Tofu
- In a small container, add the coconut aminos, corn starch, salt and pepper. Mix well with a fork or a whisking tool to incorporate.
- Cut the tofu in small rectangular strips and add to the mixture. Carefully cover the tofu with the mixture and let it soak for about 5 minutes.
- Then place the tofu on a baking tray covered with parchment paper and bake at 450F for 15 minutes. You can also roast the tofu in a grill for 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, set it aside.
Peanut Sauce
- In a separate container, add the peanut butter, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, agave syrup, coconut sugar and low sodium soy sauce. Mix everything well to incorporate and set it aside.
Spicy Thai Noodles
- In a non-stick wok placed on medium heat, add the coconut oil and the dried red pepper. Sautee for about a 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Then add the mushrooms, bell peppers and shredded carrots. Sautee for another 2 minutes or so, then add the green onions, roasted tofu, the soaked and drained noodles as well as the peanut sauce we prepared above. Give everything a good mix to incorporate all the ingredients and flavors.
- Continue to stir for another 5 minutes, adjusting the salt to your taste, then top everything with some roasted peanut. Give everything a final mix and it's ready to serve.
