Christopher Baker
Serves 4 Hands-On Time: 25m Total Time: 25m

Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce package rice noodles or 12 ounces linguine
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 14-ounce package firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 carrots, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. Boil the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and return them to the pot.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice. Gently press the tofu between layers of paper towels to remove excess liquid, then cut into ½-inch pieces.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tofu and bean sprouts. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Toss the noodles with half the soy sauce mixture and cook over medium-high heat until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and top with the vegetables and the remaining soy sauce mixture. Sprinkle with the scallions, peanuts, and cilantro, if using.
