Garlic Tofu Rice Noodle Bowl

Garlic Tofu Rice Noodle Bowl is one of my favorite tofu dishes. Rice noodles topped with vegetables and stir-fried tofu tossed with Asian sauces. If you are on a gluten-free diet, this noodle bowl comes as a treat.

 
Stir fries are my favorite recipes, and when it comes to making something Vegan and Gluten-free, I love to add Tofu with rice noodles. Garlic Tofu Rice Noodle Bowl is not only low in fat but adds a lot of taste and texture too. Garlic Tofu Rice Noodle Bowl bowl is a complete balance of protein, carbs, and vegetables. You can switch tofu with chicken, fish or beef and add as many vegetables as you want.

How do you make tofu crispy?
To make Tofu crispy, the best way is to

  • Discard all the water first and press it with a heavy object so that all the excess water squeezes out.
  • Then cut it into cubes and add cornstarch.
  • Before adding it into any recipe, stir-fry it.

    Is eating tofu good for weight loss?
  • Vegetarians turn to tofu because it’s packed with 10 grams of protein per half-cup serving.
  • Tofu contains no saturated fat and is very low in fat overall. Hence Tofu can be a great help in weight loss.

Can tofu go bad in the fridge?

As long as the tofu is stored properly and unopened, it should be fine for at least two months after the production date. Once the package is opened, it’s suggested to consume the tofu within 3 to 5 days.

Store your tofu dishes in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat them as you would other leftovers. Tofu can also be frozen, but this will change the texture.
Casseroles, stews, soups, chillis, and curries can all be made ahead of time and all work great as freezer meals.
