Tofu & Veggie Stir Fry Noodles with Spicy Peanut Dressing

This recipe is my go-to when I’m craving something comforting, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. These stir-fry noodles bring together crisp sautéed vegetables, protein-rich tofu, and a creamy spicy peanut dressing that makes the whole dish come alive. It’s a perfect weeknight dinner that satisfies both your taste buds and your healing journey.

Why I Love It:

  • It’s quick, satisfying, and customizable
  • Tofu provides clean plant-based protein
  • The spicy peanut dressing adds a bold, anti-inflammatory kick with ginger, garlic, and healthy fats
  • Veggie-packed and full of fiber, antioxidants, and crunch

Ingredients:

  • Rice noodles or whole wheat soba noodles
  • Extra-firm tofu, cubed
  • Mixed vegetables (cabbage, bell peppers, broccoli)
  • Olive oil or sesame oil for sautéing
  • 1–2 garlic cloves, minced

For the Spicy Peanut Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • Water to thin as needed
  • Optional: chili flakes or sriracha for heat

Instructions:

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. In a pan, sauté tofu in a bit of oil until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add a bit more oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped cabbage, bell peppers, and broccoli and stir fry until tender but still vibrant.
  5. Whisk together all ingredients for the peanut dressing.
