Tofu and Brown Rice Noodles in Hoisin Sauce
Ingredients
Hoisin Marinade Sauce
- 2 to 3 tbsp soy sauce, use tamari for gluten-free
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp peanut butter , or almond butter
- 1.5 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp minced ginger
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/2 to 1 hot green or red chili pepper, finely chopped
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 10 oz firm Tofu, cubed ( 3/4 of the 14 oz slab)
For the veggies and noodles:
- 6 oz brown rice noodles, I use pad thai noodles
- 1 cup chopped broccoli, heaped
- 1 tsp oil
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 2 tbsp chopped peanuts or cashews, optional
- 1/2 cup Other veggies of choice
- salt and pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Wrap the Tofu in paper towels then kitchen towel and press with a heavy weight for 5 mins to remove excess water. Then slice into small cubes or rectangles. Mix everything under marinade until the mixture is smooth. It will take a minute for the nut butter to mix in. Add Tofu to the marinade, toss to coat and let it sit for atleast 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, Prep the noodles accordingly to package instruction ( Bring apot of water to a boil, add noodles and cook for 4 minutes for brown rice pad thai noodles). You can blanch the broccoli with the boiling noodles by adding the broccoli in the last 3 minutes of cooking. Or blanch separately for 2 minutes.
- In a skillet, add oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the marinating tofu along with the marinade. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, move the tofu around and cook for another minute or 2 until the sauce thickens and forms a light glaze over the tofu. Remove half of the tofu and set aside.
- Add the carrots and nuts to the sauce skillet and mix well. Cook for a minute. Add the noodles and broccoli and toss to mix in the sauce. Taste and adjust salt and spice. Add a good dash of salt and mix in. Add red pepper flakes if needed. Cover and cook for a minute. Add the reserved tofu back to the noodles. Do not toss. Take off heat. Let it sit covered for another 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

I made this and it was really delicious, but it took me WAY longer than 10 minutes to prep, especially with peeling and mincing garlic/ginger, chopping cups of veggies and nuts, etc. I’m slow with a knife, but even so, I’d bet it takes most folks longer than 10 minutes unless you’ve got a sous chef! I’ll still make it again because it was so yummy, but I’ll be sure to leave lots more time for preparation.
Thanks for the tip Cathy.
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 !
