Ingredients
Crispy Tofu
- 2 bricks extra firm tofu, pressed
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Veggies & Noodles
- 1 nest rice noodles
- ¼ head red cabbage, grated
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- ½ cup cooked edamame beans
Sauce
- 3 heaping tbsp all natural peanut butter
- 3 tbsp agave
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tbsp sriracha (optional, adjust to your heat preference)
- water to loosen
Toppings
- 3 tbsp crushed, salted peanuts
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- First, prepare the crispy tofu. Cut tofu into cubes and toss in the cornstarch, olive oil and soy sauce. Air fry at 390 for 12 minutes flipping halfway or bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes flipping halfway.
- Cook your rice noodles and edamame beans according to the package instructions.
- While the tofu is baking, and the noodles are boiling, prepare the satay sauce. Add peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, agave, and sriracha into a mason jar. Shake until ingredients are well combined then add 1-2 tbsp of water at a time to loosen the sauce. You want it to be creamy, but to still run off the spoon.
- Keep the crushed peanuts, sesame seeds and cilantro in separate containers, and top each meal right before serving.
- Finally, assemble your meals by dividing all ingredients into 4 separate containers. Top with the peanut satay sauce, place lids on your containers and store in the fridge. Enjoy!

Notes
This recipe makes 4 high-protein vegan meals. This tofu noodle salad is perfect for lunch, dinner or a post-workout vegan meal. The amount of tofu, veggies, and noodles can be slightly adjusted to suit your personal preference.
Tofu:
This recipe is packed with fiber, plant diversity and over 30 grams of protein per serving! If you want less tofu, just use 1 brick instead of 2.
Agave:
Agave can be substituted with your favourite sweetener. Maple syrup or honey (if you eat it) can be used instead.
Noodles:
I used long flat rice noodles for mine as I believe they pair best with this dish. After cooking your rice noodles, rinse them in cold water to prevent sticking. You can substitute the rice noodles for vermicelli noodles, glass noodles, whole grain noodles, or even rice!
