Ingredients you need for the Spicy Tahini Tofu Stir Fry
1 package extra firm tofu, drained, pressed at least 15 minutes, cut into 1 inch cubes2 tablespoons sesame oil1/4 cup tahini2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)1 tablespoon soy sauce1 tablespoon honey1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar2 garlic cloves, minced1/2 tablespoon freshly grated ginger3 to 4 tablespoons water2 – 3 cups cooked rice noodles2 tablespoons chopped scallions greens1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds + poppy seeds
Directions
1.To make the tahini tofu stir-fry: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook tofu on an even layer for about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice, until the tofu isbrowned and crisp on all sides.
