This easy-peasy tofu rice noodle dish was scrumptious! For real. It’s a very simple recipe to follow. I don’t usually cook tofu but I’m branching out. 🌳 This is definitely the order I’m placing at a restaurant for twice the price. Homemade just hits different.

Follow rice noodle instructions. Once the noodles are cooked, set them aside.
In a medium-sized pan, add half a cup of olive oil. Let the oil heat up, then drop in cubed tofu. Cook until each piece is golden brown on each side. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
Add more olive oil to the same pan. Add in the chopped asparagus, sugar snap peas, and white onion. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
Add soy sauce and teriyaki sauce to the vegetables and continue to cook for a few more minutes.
Add the tofu back into the pan and stir it in with the vegetables. Finish by adding the rice noodles into the pan with the vegetables and tofu. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
Make sure to press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture for better texture.
You can substitute olive oil with sesame oil for a more authentic flavor.
Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Can I use a different type of noodle?
Yes, you can substitute rice noodles with other types like udon or soba noodles, but the texture and flavor may vary.
How do I press tofu?
Place the tofu block between two plates and add a weight on top, like a can or a book. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to drain excess water.
Can I add other vegetables?
Absolutely! Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms to customize the dish.
Is this dish gluten-free?
It depends on the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce used. Opt for gluten-free versions of these sauces to make the dish gluten-free.
Can I make this dish spicy?
Yes, you can add chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce for a spicy kick.
