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 (283.5 g) firm Tofu cubed ( 3/4 of the 14 oz slab)

For the veggies and noodles:

  • 6 oz (170.1 g) brown rice noodles I use pad thai noodles
  • 1 cup (91 g) chopped broccoli heaped

  • 1/2 cup (91 g) 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.

Notes

If using store bought hoisin sauce, use 3 to 4 tbsp sauce + 2 tbsp water.
Add 1/2 tsp molasses to the marinade for deeper flavor.

    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.

    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 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!

    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’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.

    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.

    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.

    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 🙂
