      1. Dice a red, yellow or orange bell pepper using a sharp knife or the Alligator Food Chopper. Need 1 Cup minimum, but more is always good!

      2. Shred 2 Carrots. I used our Ninja food processor, but can easily do this by hand with a food grater/shredder.

      1. Press excess moisture out of the tofu block. I put the block on multiple folded paper towels on a plate and also above the block, then place a cast iron skillet on top for about 5-10 minutes.

      2. Once the moisture has been removed, cut the tofu block into bite sized pieces.

      2. Once tossed, it is ready-to-eat, however it will be warm. You can definitely eat it warm, however for cold peanut sesame noodles, refrigerate for roughly 1 hour.
