Instructions
- Press the tofu between paper towels and a kitchen towel under a heavy weight for 5 minutes to drain it, then cut it into small cubes or rectangles.
- Whisk the marinade ingredients together until smooth; the nut butter takes about a minute to blend in.
- Toss the tofu in the marinade and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the brown rice noodles in boiling water for 4 minutes. Add the broccoli during the last 3 minutes, or blanch it separately for 2 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the tofu with its marinade, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, stir the tofu and cook 1 to 2 more minutes, until the sauce thickens into a light glaze. Set half the tofu aside.
- Add the carrots and nuts to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the drained noodles and broccoli and toss in the sauce.
- Taste and adjust the salt and chili. Add red pepper flakes if needed, cover and cook for 1 minute.
- Return the reserved tofu to the noodles without tossing. Remove from heat, cover and rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
