Hello Spring! So nice to meet you again, I have missed you loads. I am celebrating your arrival with my Rice noodle bowl with crispy tofu. It's fresh, colourful and light, just like you, my Spring.
I am sure we all love a bit of takeaway delivery. The good news is you don't need delivery! Instead, slurp away on this Rice noodle bowl with crispy tofu which is loaded with veggies, and wholesome ingredients making it an easy and delicious weeknight meal.
All you will need is one wok or a skillet, and all of the ingredients listed below. I used whole wheat brown rice noodles because I love their slightly nutty flavour, they are easy to cook and I feel they add an authentic oriental touch to this recipe .Overall it takes about 30 minutes to make this mouthwatering dish. Delicious lunch or dinner made in no time!
I decided to add crispy tofu and Snacking Essentials nuts and seeds which add extra protein and texture and take this recipe to a whole new level of delicious.
Here's the Rice Noodle Bowl with Crispy Tofu Recipe

How much is one pack of tofu? I buy two kinds and tofoo is half the weight of cauldron in a pack.

As much as you like lovely, I used 300 grams. It's not an ingredient as such, you only add it once the noodles are cooked. Hope it goes well, let me know please. Hedi x x x
