Optional Toppings:

  • Chopped peanuts

  • Extra soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu:

    • Place the tofu between two sheets of paper towel on a plate. Set a heavy book on top and let it press for at least an hour to remove excess moisture.
    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Cut the tofu into cubes and place on a lined baking sheet. Spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
    • Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  2. Cook the Rice Noodles and Sugar Snap Peas:

    • While the tofu is baking, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
    • Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions.
    • Two minutes before the noodles are finished, add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water.
    • Drain the noodles and sugar snap peas together when finished cooking.
  3. Make the Peanut Sauce:

    • In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, peanut butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, lime zest, and toasted sesame oil.
    • Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  4. Assemble the Dish:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained noodles and sugar snap peas.
    • Add the baked tofu and peanut sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
  5. Serve:

    • Divide the rice noodles with tofu and sugar snap peas into serving bowls.
    • Top with chopped peanuts and sliced scallions, if desired.
    • Optionally, drizzle with extra soy sauce and sriracha to taste.
