A vegan rice noodle base with marinated tofu and vegetables. I like to also serve it with vegan chili-mayo, but it tastes great without as well.

Ingredients

¼ (16 ounce) package dried rice noodles
½ (12 ounce) package firm tofu, cubed
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, cubed
½ cup fresh green beans, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
sesame seeds, or to taste
½ teaspoon vegetable seasoning, or to taste
4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (such as Vegenaise®)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon Asian red chile sauce, such as Sriracha®, or to taste
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 splash soy sauce

Steps:

Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
Combine tofu, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, teriyaki sauce, 1/2 of the garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a bowl and set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large skillet over low heat and cook the remaining garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and green beans and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove tofu from marinade and add to vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and mix well. Season with vegetable seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Add drained noodles and stir to combine.
Combine vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, red chile sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl. Serve with the tofu noodles.
