Love this. Easy week night dinner. I marinated tofu overnight- then cooked and briught it to work with me. So quick, tasty and delicious.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
This was very good. I always tend to have hoisin sauce around so I just made it with that. This is mos def a quick and easy one that tastes like you toiled all day.
This is hands-down my favourite recipe of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have made it for many people and every single person has loved it!! I sometimes use wow butter if I am taking leftovers to work due to peanut allergies, and it tastes great that way too. But it tastes the best with peanut butter. I sometimes double the sauce to make a saucier dish and usually omit the sugar. Amazing amazing amazing! Can’t say enough good things about it. Thank you 🙂
awesome
So good !
Didn’t have any type of nut butter so we replaced with tahini and ate with white rice and it was superb! Thank you for a great recipe to help with dinner tonight.
I made this a couple of nights ago. It was fast and tasty but i have a couple of comments.
1. It doesn’t really make sense to use only 3/4 of a block of tofu – you end up with a 1/4 block left and that is somewhat wasteful. It would have been better to increase the volume of the marinating sauce and use the entire block of tofu – that way there is more for leftovers.
The sauce was easy to make and really tasty but I found the order of cooking a bit questionable. I question when there is fiddling with the order of cooking things – here you instruct to remove some of the tofu and then add the veggies. It is easier to remove all of the tofu add a bit more oil and fully stir fry the veggies including the broccoli and then add a small amount of liquid to loosen and blend the bits of marinade that remain in the pan with the stirfried veggies and then add the tofu back in along with the noodles to blend everything together. It is very tasty though and I will make it again.
I’m not sure what I did wrong. Could it be that I used previously frozen tofu? Or maybe because I accidentally used the whole slab. Or maybe because it was extra firm tofu?
I’m new to tofu, and there was little marinade left after the tofu soaked. Pouring it into the pan, it disappeared quite quickly;,before the original 5 minutes of cooking was even over. We added bottled hoisin sauce to the pan after the homemade one was gone, and added a little water to thin it out, but do you have Any thoughts or suggestions for next time.
Yes,its most likely the tofu absorbed it all. Tofu on freezing gets very porous, while the regular tofu doesnt absorb much. You can make another batch of the sauce for the noodles.
Made for my daughter and she really enjoyed. We sauteed up some onion to go with broccoli and carrots. We added fresh cilantro to it when served. The gluten-free pasta really soaked up the sauce. My daughter said the sauce was a bit too watery and we mixed together more soy sauce and peanut butter and put over the top. No cashews. Thanks again..another keeper!
I just made this for lunch. Delicious! I was out of carrots, so I used matchstick sized pieces of red bell pepper instead. I like lots of veggies, so I doubled the broccoli. This recipe is a keeper!
awesome!
Can I replace sesame oil with something else due to allergies? Also peanut butter-can I use sunbutter?
yes for sunbutter. You can omit sesame oil as well, the flavor will be a bit different thats all.
I have Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce. I’m not sure you have had that but do you think I can just short cut the sauce making and it will taste as good??
yes you can use the sauce. start with a few tbsps and also 1-2 tbsp water and then add more into the noodles if needed. the packaged sauces are thicker and very strong flavored.
I love this recipe! My husband constantly requests this! It’s one of our favourites. 🙂
Just had this for lunch – yum! I added other veg – leeks, mushrooms & beansprouts. Thanks Richa. I think you’ve become my fave vegan blogger!
