Instructions

Step 1/5

Prepare Noodles and Sauce

Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch (if using). Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 2/5

Cook Tofu

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4/5

Combine Ingredients

Return the tofu to the skillet along with the cooked rice noodles. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the tofu and noodles. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 5/5

Season and Serve

Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
