Cold Peanut Sesame Noodles

Ingredients

    Ingredients: Peanut Sesame Sauce

    • 1 Cup Organic Creamy Peanut Butter
    • ½ Cup Toasted Sesame Oil
    • 2/3 Cup Coconut Aminos
    • ½ Cup Rice Vinegar
    • ¼ Cup Sambal Oelek Chili Paste
    • ¼ Cup Organic Cane Sugar
    • 2 Garlic Cloves
    • 6 tsp Fresh Peeled & Grated Ginger (Can sub Minced from Jar)

    Ingredients: Remaining Items

    • 14 oz Extra Firm Tofu (Drained & Pressed)
    • 7 oz Rotisserie Chicken Breast Meat (Diced)
    • 1 Cup Diced Red/Orange/Yellow Bell Peppers
    • 2 Large Carrots Shredded
    • Gluten Free Linguine Noodles (9oz Pkg)

    Directions

      Prep: Peanut Sesame Sauce

      1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk all peanut sesame sauce ingredients until combined. You can also use a food processor or small blender. Place in refrigerator if you want it cold when combining ingredients later on.

      Prep: Remaining Ingredients

      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.

      Prep: Tofu

      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.

      Cook: Tofu & Other Ingredients

      1. Heat 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil in a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu pieces, toss and cook until browned in the pan.
      2. Add the Diced Bell Pepper and Shredded Carrots and stir-fry for 3 minutes until tender.
      3. Add the pre-cooked diced Rotisserie Chicken breast and gently toss.

      Cook: Gluten-Free Linguine Noodles

      1. While Prepare noodles according to packaging. We used Taste Republic gluten-free linguine noodles, which are delicious!

      Combine:

      1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked noodles with the Peanut Sesame Sauce. Then add the pan-fried tofu and other ingredients and gently combine.
      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.
