Ingredients
  

Bowl
  • 50 g rice noodles about 1.8 oz
  • 100 g tofu about 3.5 oz
  • a handful of red cabbage chopped
  • 1 small carrot grated or julienned
  • a few cucumber slices
  • 1/4 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/4 cup edamame
  • chives chopped
  • 1/4 chili pepper sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon oil for frying
  • a few peanuts chopped
Peanut Sauce:
  • 2 generous tablespoons peanut butter
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Slice the tofu and fry until golden and crispy on both sides.
  3. Arrange the rice noodles, red cabbage, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and edamame in a bowl.
  4. Top with the crispy tofu. Sprinkle with chopped chives, sliced chili, and peanuts.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to loosen it.
  6. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the bowl before serving.
