How To Make Spicy Rice Noodles With Tofu?
SPICY RICE NOODLES WITH TOFU- WHOLESOME MEAL WITH GRILLED TOFU, VEGGIES AND PEANUTS.
Spicy rice noodles with tofu is something that i resort to when i need a wholesome meal and yet do not want to make five different dishes. This spicy rice noodles with tofu is a vegan recipe as such but i added a boiled egg to the platter just to make it a tad healthier.
This spicy rice noodles with tofu comes together in less than half an hour if you have all the ingredients handy. I always have a stash of roasted peanut powder in my pantry. As for the noodles, the rice noodles have replaced the regular ones ever since we have moved to SG. I grilled the tofu after pressing it well on a grill pan. You can also grill the tofu in an oven or a broiler.
You can use any veggies you desire to make these noodles. Bell peppers, bok choy, broccoli, carrots, spring onions and beans work really well here. If you are looking for a gluten free version, use Tamari sauce instead of the regular soy sauce. I have used thin rice noodles for this. You can also use flat rice noodles that are slightly thicker. Regular hakka noodles will also taste good but they wont be gluten free.
