How to make this tofu rice noodles recipe

Making these tofu rice noodles recipe is super quick and easy!

Step 1 - Prepare the miso-tamari sauce

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a glass, and stir well to combine. If the stock is warm, it will be easier to combine with the miso.

Step 2 - Stir fry the tofu

Heat a non-stick pan on high heat and add a bit of coconut oil. Add the tofu and a couple of tablespoons of the sauce. Stir fry for a few minutes until the tofu is cooked. It should end up crispy on the outside. Set aside.

Step 3 - Stir fry the veggies

Add a bit more of coconut oil to the pan, and add the ginger and garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes, and add the broccolini and mushrooms with a couple more tablespoons of sauce.

Stir fry for a few minutes until they are ready, and add the bok choy and another tablespoon of sauce. Stir fry for another minute or two (the thicker part of bok choy should have a crunchy texture).

Step 4 - Combine with the tofu and noodles

Cook the rice noodles following the packet instructions. Remove from the water when they're slightly undercooked (see Top Tip below).

Add the tofu and the noodles to the pan, pour sauce over the noodles, and combine with the veggies.

Serve with spring onions and sesame seeds on top.

Hint: The veggies should be al-dente, don't overcook them.

Substitutions & variations

• Add other veggies - snow peas, broccoli, green beans or zucchini would work great.
• Top up with crushed nuts - like cashews or almonds.
• Simplify the sauce - use tamari alone, rather than the miso-tamari sauce.
• Make them spicy - adding some chili flakes on top, or sriracha to the sauce.
