Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390 °F). Bake the diced tofu for 20 minutes until golden, or stir-fry it in a skillet until crispy.
While the tofu is baking, cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine all the ingredients for the peanut-lime sauce and blend until smooth. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, and garlic-ginger mixture. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the baked tofu, drained noodles, chopped scallions, and the peanut-lime sauce to the pan. Toss everything thoroughly and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat all the ingredients.
Serve immediately or divide into 4 meal prep containers. Garnish with extra scallions, sesame seeds, or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

This recipe is great for meal prepping and can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

If the sauce thickens in the fridge, add a splash of soy milk or water when reheating to restore the desired consistency.

For a gluten-free option, swap tamari for gluten-free soy sauce and use gluten-free udon noodles or rice noodles.

Feel free to add any other vegetables like snap peas or zucchini to the stir-fry.
