Peanut Noodles with Tofu Nuggets
This is probably one of my favourite lunches- you just need to leave time to make different components.
Start by making the tofu nuggets. I use a recipe from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken.
Although I alter it slightly by using only one block of tofu, and first tossing them in a few tablespoons of cornstartch so that they’ll be a bit crunchier.
As soon as they are in the oven (or better yet, the air fryer). Boil up some water and get your rice noodles in to soak. I typically also throw in frozen edamame into the same boiling water.
The amazing peanut sauce comes from the Minimalist Baker.
