People often describe tofu as tasteless. We like to think of it as a blank white canvas to create delectable masterpieces, such as this Southeast Asian-style noodle dish. It’s a mix of sweet & spicy with a hint of tartness, and packed with healthy veggies. The savory crunch of the tofu is the perfect protein and texture to complement the delicate rice noodles. You’ll be hooked at first bite!
