The tofu takes on lovely flavor from the soy marinade and is served with noodles and a spicy peanut sauce.

Also works well with rice instead of noodles.

Ingredients

Vegetables & Noodles

  • 250 g broccoli
  • 2 pointed peppers (spetspaprika)
  • 2 carrots
  • ½ small leek
  • 1½ tbsp sesame oil
  • 180 g rice noodles
  • salt and black pepper

Sriracha Tofu

  • 270 g firm tofu
  • 4 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil, for frying

Spicy Peanut Sauce

  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1.25 dl peanut butter
  • 4 tbsp agave syrup
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1⅓ tbsp red curry paste
  • 4 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • water

To Serve

  • fresh coriander
  • peanuts

Instructions

  1. Sriracha tofu: Cut the tofu into roughly 1 cm cubes. Mix the soy sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and sriracha. Heat the oil and fry the tofu over high heat until nicely colored all over.

  2. Glaze: Easiest to turn the cubes one at a time in the pan. Lower the heat and pour over the sauce. Let it simmer until the tofu has absorbed most of the liquid.

  3. Prep: Shred the broccoli, peppers, carrots, and leek. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.

  4. Stir-fry: Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan or wok. Stir-fry the vegetables quickly over high heat, stirring, so they get a little color but stay crisp.

  5. Serve: Toss the noodles and vegetables together. Top with the tofu, peanut sauce, coriander, and coarsely chopped peanuts.

Peanut Sauce

Blend all the ingredients into a smooth sauce. Thin with water to the desired consistency. Season with salt if you use unsalted peanut butter.
