If you wanted to add more protein to this recipe, you can add baked tofu. To bake the tofu, I cut it into cubes and bake in the oven at 350.  It usually cooks in 30-35 minutes.

This recipe would also be great served over wild rice or quinoa.  This helps also stretch the meal out longer.

This dish was inspired by my Peanut Noodle Stir Fry.

Peanut Noodle Stir Fry (Vegan)

Peanut Noodle Stir Fry.  Of all the different cuisines out there, I would have to say Asian cuisine is my favorite.  This peanut noodle stir fry dish is another one of my husband’s creations and his favorite Asian stir fry of the blog as well.

Both of us love pad Thai, so this dish is a spin on those Thai flavors we love so much.  It just seems as if every time we make this, we can’t eat it enough.

The sauce leaves you wanting more, and the vegetables all compliment each other nicely. Any vegetable combos work with this too, so you can customize the recipe to suit your needs.
