Step 1
Prepare a large pot with water and bring to a boil for your noodles.
Step 2
While your water is heating up, julienne your carrots, slice your green onion, and slice the tofu into cubes.
Step 3
Cook your rice noodles according to the package instructions (usually 5 minutes). Stir frequently so they don’t stick together. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. You can also toss them in a bit of sesame oil but I find this usually isn’t needed.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet with 1 tbsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add your tofu cubes and cook for about 4 minutes until they are nicely browned. Give the skillet a shake every so often to prevent the tofu sticking.
Step 5
While your tofu browns, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Step 6
When the tofu is lightly browned, add 1 tbsp tamari and ½ red chilli pepper. Toss to coat.
Step 7
Then add your carrots, bean sprouts, and green onion. Cook for 1 minute or so to soften slightly.
Step 8
Add your noodles and sauce. Stir and cook for about 4 minutes until everything is evenly coated, heated through, and slightly softened.
Step 9
To serve, divide among bowls and top with more green onion and chopped peanuts. Looking for a starter? Try our Thai Mango Salad!
