6 ounces flat rice noodles
14 ounces extra-firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 jalapeno peppers, stemmed and seeded
4 garlic cloves
½ yellow onion
1¼ cups water
¼ cup coconut sugar (see recipe note on p. 90)
2 tablespoons Bragg liquid aminos
or nama shoyu
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
Salt, for sprinkling
Ground black pepper, for sprinkling
Oil, for frying
½ pound snap peas
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips and halved, or
1 carrot, shredded
4 tablespoons fresh, chopped basil
or 2 tablespoons dried basil

1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Spread the tofu on paper towels and let drain for 20 minutes. Pat dry with additional paper towels.
3. In a blender, blend the jalapeno peppers, garlic, and onion until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the water, sugar, Bragg liquid aminos or nama shoyu, and lemon or lime juice.
5. Season the tofu lightly with the salt and pepper and pat with a paper towel so the seasoning will stick.
6. Heat ¼ inch of oil in a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add the seasoned tofu and fry, turning as needed, until all
sides are crisp and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
7. Add the snap peas and red pepper or carrot to the now empty skillet with 3 tablespoons oil and fry over medium
heat, stirring often until the vegetables are crisp and tender. Transfer to a bowl together with the noodles.
8. Add 3 tablespoons oil to the now empty skillet and add the blended jalapeno mixture. Cook until its color deepens,
about 3–5 minutes. Add the water mixture, basil, and noodles, tossing gently, until well combined. Heat thoroughly.
9. Spoon into 5 serving plates. Top individual portions with the crispy tofu.
