noodles with creamy almond ginger sauce, stir-fried veggies & crispy tofu

*clearly, not raw

Tonight was my night to make dinner, and I decided on a pretty simple yet (apparently) tasty meal.
I made a sauce with almond butter, ginger, garlic and other spices and poured it on whole wheat noodles. I also stir-fried a bunch of veggies and crispy tofu. My parents said it was really good!

It seems like an excellent dish to feed anyone you care about, especially if you're trying to get them to eat more veggies - AND see how delicious vegan food can be.

This meal is easy, scrumptious, and good for ya. Eat your veggies!


Noodles with Creamy Almond Ginger Sauce, Stir-fried Veggies & Crispy Tofu: makes about 5 servings

Crispy Tofu:
2 packages of chopped tofu 
Put oil in pan and heat. Add tofu and let cook, stirring/mixing often to get them all crispy. It'll take awhile. The secret is medium-high heat, oil, and time. (I added some soy sauce to the tofu while it was cooking, to add salt)

(Side note: check out these photos of food from the Modernist Cuisine cook book. They're so cool!)


Stir-fried Veggies:
4-5 mushrooms
1 onion
2 bell peppers
2 carrots
2-3 cups broccoli 
1 eggplant, if you have it

Put a pot of water on to boil for the noodles. (When the water is boiling and you have about 10 minutes left until your veggies are done, put the noodles in the water). 
Chop all veggies and add to a different heated, oiled sauce pan. Stir-fry until they're cooked as you like. I added soy sauce and hoisin sauce as they were cooking for more flavour. As the tofu and veggies are cooking, make the noodle sauce. 


Creamy Almond Ginger Sauce:
1 cup almond butter
2 cloves garlic
1 T ginger
Sriracha (or other thai hot sauce)
2 T sweetener
3-4 T soy sauce
1 T salt
1/4 oil (or use more water)
1/4 water

Blend all ingredients together and see if you like it, change it if desired. I also added mustard, chili, and some other things. When the noodles are ready, pour sauce on them until they're evenly coated. 


Serve with the noodles as the base, with a helping of veggies, and a bit of crispy tofu to top it off! Enjoy!



I had an avocado for dinner, as my family enjoyed the noodles =) 
And I drank this delicious smoothie earlier today:



It had a kiwi, 3 cups of kale, an orange, some frozen strawberries, water and stevia in it. I topped it off with some dried coconut and goji berries. YUM!
