(veggies of choice)

Peanut sauce

3/4 cup peanut butter

1 tbsp maple syrup/molasses/brown sugar

1 tbsp liquid aminos/coconut aminos

chili flakes to taste

hot water as needed

1 tbsp lime juice

Begin with cooking tofu; 

warm a pan with 1 tbsp of coconut oil

cube or square tofu

cook until lightly browned on all sides (let sit each side 2-3 mins then flip)

Cook noodles according to the package.

While noodles prepare,  julienne or dice veggies (to preference).

Saute veggies with a few tsp of water (oil if preferred; coconut, sesame..)

Cover veggies let sit for a few minutes, to avoid over cooking.

Peanut sauce

Combine all ingredients, start with 1 tbsp of water and add more as needed. You want a nice consistency, one that's not too liquidy. 

Once noodles are prepared, toss with peanut sauce, veggies and tofu, top with toppings of choice and enjoy!
