Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 14-oz package extra firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup No Sugar Added SunButter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil, divided
  • 4 ounces buckwheat soba noodles
  • 1 10-oz bag frozen stir fry vegetables, thawed
  • ½ teaspoon chopped garlic
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ cup sliced scallions (green onions)

Instructions

  1. Press tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place a heavy object on top of it (or use a tofu press) for about 30 minutes.
  2. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss in a bowl with cornstarch.
  3. Add SunButter, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to a bowl. Mix together until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu on all sides until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  5. While tofu cooks, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Reserve ⅓ cup of pasta water. Drain and set aside.
  6. When the tofu is done, add an additional 1⁄2 tablespoon avocado oil to the skillet. Saute thawed vegetables until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and grated ginger, plus the remaining black pepper, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. 
  7. Mix the reserved warm pasta water into the SunButter sauce to thin it out.
  8. Add the noodles and tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss in the SunButter sauce. Divide amongst 4 serving bowls and garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
