HOW TO MAKE THE NOODLES:
- Cut tofu into small cubes and arrange on a cutting board.
- Place paper towels over the tofu and top with a heavy dish (this eliminates any excess liquid). Let stand for about 20 minutes.
- Prepare vegetables and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add peanut butter, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, and coconut aminos and whisk together until smooth.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil over medium-high.
- Add tofu and cook for about a minute and a half each side.
- Remove from wok and set aside. Then heat remaining oil, along with ginger, onion, mushrooms, and peppers. Stir-fry for two minutes and add tofu back in with snow peas and jalapeno.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Toss zucchini (you don’t have to cook this) with tofu mixture and add sauce. Combine thoroughly and stir in sesame seeds.
- Divide into four portions and serve.
COOK’S NOTE
If you can’t find coconut aminos, soy sauce or tamari will taste just as good.
Additionally, if you don’t have a spiralizer, a vegetable peeler can be used in its place.
Keep in mind, going the analog route may cost you some time.
