Ingredients
- 8 ounces brown rice noodles
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili paste
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 6 ounces spinach leaves
- 8 ounces tofu, pressed and drained
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until just al dente according to package directions. 2. While the water is boiling, whisk together the lime juice, brown sugar, vegetable broth, vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste and peanut butter until smooth. Set aside. 3. Drain and press the tofu, removing as much water as possible. Heat the tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet (or other skillet) over medium heat. Crumble in the tofu directly into the pan and stir, breaking up the tofu as much as possible. Cook until very dry and most moisture is gone, about 5-7 minutes. 4. While the tofu is cooking, prep the vegetables. 5. Add the cooked noodles, spinach and sauce to the skillet. Toss for 3-4 minutes until warmed through and spinach is wilted. The sauce should have reduced and thickened with the noodles and spinach. 6. Stir in the peanuts, cilantro and scallions. Divide onto plates and serve immediately.
