Ingredients

• 8 ounces Gluten-free rice noodles
• 14 ounces Extra-firm tofu
• 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 large Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
• 4 units Scallions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Water or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 unit Lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon Optional sesame seeds, for garnish
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (like avocado or vegetable oil)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, sesame oil, water or vegetable broth, cornstarch, and lime juice to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of neutral oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and return the crispy tofu to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and tofu. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice noodles into the skillet, tossing gently to combine and ensure the noodles are fully coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and optional sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Stir-Fried Noodles with Vegetables and Tofu!
