  • 2-3 servings your favorite noodles I often go for whole grain spaghetti or rice noodles
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and bell peppers work beautifully
  • 1 block firm tofu pressed and cubed
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil

Method
 

  1. Heat a large pot of water over high heat and cook the noodles according to package instructions, usually 6-8 minutes.
  2. In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil and allow it to shimmer. Then, add the cubed tofu and fry until golden and crispy on all sides.
  3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Toss in the mixed vegetables and sauté until just tender but still vibrant, around 3-4 minutes.
