Hi everyone! This too has become a perennial favorite – though has anyone figured out how to get the noodles not to stick together? It makes it hard to toss…

I modified this into a warm dish and it was fantastic – all because I didn’t want to get my blender dirty so I decided to heat the sauce. A little oil in the bottom of a saucepan. Saute the tofu on med heat 5 minutes. Add all sauce ingredients and turn heat to medium low, whisk occasionally until warmed through and smooth. Add peppers to sauce. Boil 3/4 lb of rice noodles. Drain, toss with sauce, divide among bowls, top with bean sprouts, sesame seeds and cucumber pieces. Squeeze of lime overtop. WHEW! Thanks, Deb!! We ate too much. And I want it again tonight.

This is excellent. Any vegetables will do, and I like slicing them very thin so the noodles wind around them. If you make it with chicken, be sure to shred it.

I was visiting my mother and made this for the vegetarian/vegan grandchildren. She has someone from China living in the extra bedroom and SHE loved it and asked for the recipe!
Your site is THE BEST

Came here looking for a recipe for tofu that could be put together in minutes. You did not disappoint! Especially as I miraculously had everything in my (very empty) fridge and pantry. So good, will be making this again.

I made this earlier in the week and loved it – great leftovers, too. My boyfriend made a face when I said there was tofu in it, so I used chicken for protein instead; I would like to try it with tofu at some point, though.

Deb – this is a winner!! I’ve made it a bunch of times (using chicken instead of tofu for all the carnivores I know and using easy to find spagetti noodles) and it is always a hit. Thanks for introducing it to me!

Hello! I think this is my first comment on your blog. I just wanted to tell you that I made this recipe tonight and both myself and the usually-tofu-hatin’ husband loved it. i used blanched broccoli and snow peas in place of the cucumber/bell peppers, and i used marinated tofu. i’ve actually not heard of sesame noodles before (they’re not very common here in Australia i don’t think), but this is totally going on the To Make Regularly list :)

so thank you!

Deb-
I made these noodles today after a 15 mile run. OMGoodness, they were so delicious. I wonder if I used udon noodles next time if that would be too overwhelming-too much noodle. Thanks for the recipe.

Thank you so much for highlighting old recipes. I made this last night – it made my week!
