  • Press, marinate and grill the tofu.

Dressing

  • Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender
  • Put dressing in a squeeze bottle to drizzle on the noodle bowl.

Noodles

  • Place noodles in a shallow pan or bowl, so they fit completely without breaking the noodles.
  • Boil 4 cups of water (make sure it is boiling)
  • Pour boiling water over noodles
  • Using a fork, move noodles around
  • Leave the noodles for 4-6 minutes until noodles are tender
  • Pour noodles into a colander and run cold water over the noodles
  • Use noodles immediately, or place them in the refrigerator in a covered container until ready to use.
  • DO NOT ADD DRESSING TO NOODLES IF USING LATER

Vegetables

  • Cut the vegetables of choice

Serve

  • Place a serving of noodles in the base of each shallow bowl
  • Add vegetables, and top with grilled lemongrass tofu
  • Drizzle with dressing
  • Add garnish if chosen
  • This recipe can be eaten hot or cold or a combination of both (My noodles and tofu were hot; the veggies raw), but you can cook veggies if you prefer
