This is such an awesome meal but it’s ridiculously high in calories, so I try not to make it more than once a month…but I love it so… If anyone wants to gain weight quickly, this is a good way to do it. I’m trying to think of something I could replace the noodles with…maybe an assortment of veggies...

Serves: 3-4

Part 1:
1/2 c. natural peanut butter
3/4 c boiling water

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
13.5 oz. Firm (or extra firm) tofu
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 pound vermicelli noodles OR soba noodles

Part 4:
3-6 tbs sesame seeds (black, white, or both)
1-2 cucumber(s), peeled and sliced
4-6 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 c. cashews (optional)
Fresh cilantro
