Ingredients
Ginger Sesame Sauce
- 2 tablespoons EACH: rice vinegar and soy sauce gluten-free, if needed
- 1 tablespoon EACH: cornstarch, dark sesame oil, and minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon EACH: brown sugar and sriracha
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- juice from 1 lime
The Crispy Tofu
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 16 ounce package of medium tofu cut into squares
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce gluten-free, if needed
The Carrot Noodle Stir Fry
- 5 large carrots
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 baby bok choy
- Cilantro, lime slices, and sesame seeds to serve
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the ginger sesame sauce ingredients.
- Dry the tofu with paper towels. Heat the coconut oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until it's golden and crispy Remove the tofu from the pan, place it into a small dish, and toss it with soy sauce.
- While the tofu is frying, use your spiralizer to make noodles from the carrots. You could also use a julienne peeler or cut the carrots into long, thin strips with a sharp knife.
- Heat the oil in a wok or a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrot noodles and baby bok choy and toss a few times. Cover the pan and let the noodles cook for about 2 minutes. Just when the noodles start to soften, add the ginger sesame sauce and toss to coat. Once the sauce thickens (in about 1 minute), remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crispy tofu. Serve topped with any or all of the garnishes.
