- 420 gr/14 oz firm tofu

- 6 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Peanut Sauce and Crispy Tofu:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, maple syrup, miso pasta, lemon juice, peanut butter, ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and basil) until smooth and well combined.
- Spray a medium pan with non-stick cooking spray. Over high heat, “fry” and toss tofu cubes until lightly crispy.
Noodles
- Boil water (I use my kettle). Add rice noodles to a large pot or bowl. Pour boiled water over the noodles until all the noodles are covered with water. Leave to soak while cooking preparing the rest of the meal.
- Meanwhile, in a large wok, over medium heat, saute onion and garlic with a few splashes of water until translucent. Add zucchini and saute until soft. Add bouillon cube, water and peanut sauce to the wok pan. Cover and leave to cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Add crispy tofu to the wok.
- Once cooked, drain and rinse the rice noodles. Add to the wok pan. Add the bok choy and soy sprouts to the wok. Lightly toss the noodles, turn off the heat and cover for 2 minutes.
Garnish
- Garnish the spicy peanut noodles with cilantro, green onion, peanuts and hot pepper flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
1) The amount of hot pepper flakes you add will depend on how spicy you generally like your food. I only add 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes when serving to friends and family and add a full tsp when making it for my partner and I. I like to always make sure to serve extra red pepper flakes in a little dish on the table for those who like it with a real kick!
