Prep

  1. Tofu - If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first, like in this video. Then slice into 1/2” / 1.3 cm thick cubes. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
  2. Make sauce - Chop garlic. Whisk together garlic, soy sauce, Hoisin, peanut butter, vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha (if using), and water. Taste; if it’s too salty, add more water; if it's too sweet, add more soy sauce. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  3. Snap peas / Peanuts - Prep as directed and store separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  4. Carrots - If not using pre-shredded carrots, use a box grater or food processor to shred. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
  5. Limes - Slice into wedges.

Make

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions.
  2. Heat a saute pan or wok with oil over medium-high heat. When oil begins to shimmer add tofu and saute until tofu is golden brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Add snap peas and carrots. Saute until carrots begin to soften, ~2 minutes more.
  4. Add sauce and cook until it begins to simmer and thicken, ~2 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper.
  5. Remove pan from heat and add noodles, tossing to coat. Top with peanuts and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
