Noodle bowl
- 1 recipe of baked garlic chili tofu
- 2-4 servings of cooked noodles (I used 2 packages of Yakisoba noodles, but ramen and rice noodles work too)

- 1 head broccoli
- 1/4 onion, diced
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic chili sauce
Preparation
Peanut sauce
Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Adjust consistency of sauce to your liking by adding additional small amounts of water until satisfied.
Baked garlic chili tofu
Set oven to 400F.
After pressing tofu, cut tofu into even cubes and place in a bowl or Tupperware container.
Add remaining ingredients and gently toss together or seal container and shake to evenly coat tofu.
Remove tofu and place on a lined baking sheet making sure tofu cubes aren’t touching.
Place in oven for at least 25 minutes or until edges have browned.
Alternatively, pan fry until tofu is browned on all sides.
Noodle bowl assembly
To a pan on medium heat add onion and sauté until softened, about 1 minute.
Add in broccoli and 2 tbsp of water.
Lower heat to low medium and cover with a lid for about 3-4 minutes.
Remove lid and add soy sauce and garlic chili sauce.
Stir to combine then add in cooked noodles and tofu.
Add half the sauce from recipe and stir to combine.
Serve as desired and use reserved peanut sauce to add more to your dish if desired or store in the fridge.
Tips
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos.
Yakisoba, ramen, or rice noodles can be substituted based on preference.
