Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Noodles:

  • 8 ounces Japanese udon noodles

  • 1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, drained

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cabbage, or more to taste

  • 1 cup shredded carrot

  • 1 small sweet red pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips

  • 2 scallions, or more to taste, thinly sliced

Peanut Sauce:

  • ½ cup vegetable broth

  • 6 tablespoons natural peanut butter

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, pat tofu dry and cut into small cubes; set aside. Place cabbage, carrot, red pepper, and scallions in a large bowl.

  3. Whisk together vegetable broth, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring mixture to a simmer and whisk constantly until thickened, about 1 minutes. Set peanut sauce aside to cool.

  4. Drain noodles in a colander and rinse with cool water to refresh. Add noodles to the cabbage mixture. Add peanut sauce and tofu; toss gently to mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
