Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup

    Peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp Coriander
  • 1/4 tsp Garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder

Vegetables

  • 1/2 Onion
  • 3 Carrots
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 crowns Broccoli

Other

  • 1/2 package Extra firm tofu
  • 1/2 package Noodles Use half of a large package of rice noodles or spaghetti - enough for 4 servings.

Instructions

  • Preheat a frying pan on medium heat. Bring a pot of water to boil. Meanwhile, wash and cut vegetables and set aside sauce ingredients. Once the water is boiling, add pasta to cook.
  • Mince onion and garlic. Stir fry for 2 minutes on medium heat.
  • Cut tofu into cubes (2cm x 2cm). Add to the onions and garlic and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so all sides are browned. Remove from the pan (scoop out the tofu into a bowl and set aside).
  • Slice carrots into thin slices and add to hot pan. Stir fry for 5 minutes.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, remove from heat, drain and rinse.
  • Add the tofu back to the pan with the carrots. Add broccoli. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes to steam the broccoli.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to a blender. Blend on high speed for 3 seconds. Pour over the vegetables and tofu. Stir, and heat for 1 more minute until sauce is thick and bubbly.
  • Add the drained, cooked pasta to the vegetables and sauce. Stir thoroughly to coat the pasta, and serve.
