Rice Noodle Bowls with Almond Butter Tofu

extra-firm tofu*

Tbsp sesame oil ((divided))

Tbsp salted creamy almond, cashew, or peanut butter

Tbsp tamari ((or soy sauce if not GF))

Tbsp lime juice

maple syrup or coconut sugar

birds eye chili ((crushed // or sub 1/4 tsp red pepper flake))

cornstarch

rice noodles

carrots

cucumber

red bell pepper ((optional))

green onion

cilantro

garlic, minced ((2 cloves yield ~1 Tbsp))

Tbsp maple syrup ((plus more to taste))

tsp tamari ((or soy sauce if not gluten-free))

Tbsp rice vinegar

Tbsp sesame oil

Start by wrapping tofu in a clean towel and setting something heavy on top (like a cast iron skillet) to press out excess moisture for 10 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare the tofu sauce in a medium mixing bowl by whisking together 2 Tbsp sesame oil (amount as original recipe is written // if altering batch size, use 1/3 the amount in "tofu" section), almond butter, tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, and crushed chili. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more tamari for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, chili pepper for heat, or maple syrup for sweetness. Set aside.

Next, prepare rice noodles according to package instructions. Then rinse with cold water, drain thoroughly, and set aside.

Prep vegetables next. Set aside.

Prepare salad dressing by adding all ingredients to a small mixing bowl (or jar) and whisking (or shaking vigorously) to combine.

Taste and adjust flavors as needed, adding more chilies for heat, tamari for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, or maple syrup for sweetness. Set aside.

Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat (if too small, cook the tofu in 2 batches as to not crowd the pan) and cut pressed tofu into small rectangles. Toss in cornstarch and sauté in remaining sesame oil (3 Tbsp as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), flipping once browned on the underside to ensure even browning – about 5 minutes total.

Add the almond butter sauce and stir gently to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring gently to ensure even cooking on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

To assemble, divide noodles, vegetables and tofu among serving bowls. Serve with dressing. For more heat, serve with sriracha or chili garlic sauce.

Best when fresh, though leftovers keep well when stored separately in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
