Vegan Rice Noodle Stir Fry with Tofu and Veggies – a tasty, beginner friendly, Pad Thai-inspired meal, that is super nutritious.
This meal is perfect, even if you are a beginner.
Start by “cooking” the rice noodles. Place them in a bowl and pour boiling hot water until all the noodles are covered. Put a lid on the bowl and leave it for 5-10 minutes. After 10 minutes check if the noodles are soft enough or not. If not, leave them for a bit more.
While the noodles are soaking, cut the block of tofu into tiny bits and fry them in a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil on medium heat.
I used frozen broccoli and baby corns as veggies, but you can basically use anything else, that goes with soy sauce. After the veggies were thawed, I fried them a little bit with 1 teaspoon of oil.
When the tofu and veggies are fried, add the soy sauce and rice vinegar, then stir everything for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
At last, add the noodles and gently stir everything together.
Serve with chopped roasted peanuts, a few drops of lime juice and enjoy!
