How to make Tofu Pasta?

  2. Make the tofu pasta sauce: In small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame seeds. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add tofu cubes and brown for 4 minutes on each side, flipping them over with a large non-stick spatula. Set tofu aside in a bowl.

Possible Variations for this Tofu Udon:

  1. When making a tofu and noodles dish, you can mix it up with different types of noodles including soba, spaghetti or fettuccini.
  2. The tofu mixed with the sauce in this recipe served over cabbage or mixed greens would be a great gluten free alternative.
  3. You could also mix up the tofu and sauce and place it over a bed of fluffy white or brown rice.
  4. Feel free to adjust the noodles to your liking. For less carbs, reduce the noodles and increase the cabbage and tofu and vice versa. This recipe is very flexible!
  5. You can make this a tofu pesto pasta by substituting the sauce in this recipe with a creamy pesto sauce.
