Instructions
Creating Creamy Vegan Tofu Noodles is a breeze. Follow these straightforward instructions to whip up this delicious meal:
1. Cook the Noodles: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Tofu: While the noodles cook, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the tofu is golden, add the mixed vegetables to the pan along with the minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and soy sauce.
5. Combine Everything: Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Add Noodles: Finally, add the cooked noodles to the pan. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the creamy sauce.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with extra soy sauce or chopped green onions if desired.
