Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil noodles in salted water until tender, drain, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add tofu cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on most sides, ~6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, juice of half the lime, and 3 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Add cooked noodles to the skillet with the tofu. Pour sauce over and toss until every strand is coated, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Divide between bowls. Squeeze remaining lime over top and scatter cilantro and green onions if using.
