Ingredients
Noodles
- 200 g noodles
Tofu and Sauce
- 200 g firm tofu, cubed
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup plant-based cream or milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast or Parmesan alternative
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Fry Tofu: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and fry gently until all sides turn golden brown, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan with tofu and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Prepare Sauce: Pour the plant-based cream or milk into the pan. Stir in the nutritional yeast and soy sauce, mixing well to combine all ingredients into a creamy sauce.
- Toss Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan. Toss thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy tofu sauce.
- Simmer and Serve: Let the mixture simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve warm immediately.
Notes
- Add fresh spinach or sautéed mushrooms to enhance texture and nutritional value.
- Use coconut milk instead of plant-based cream for a richer, tropical flavor.
