SPICY PEANUT NOODLES WITH TOFU

A staple in our house.  This spicy peanut sauce is one of our favorite ones. It is one of those that makes you feel good, is comforting, easy to do and can be used in many ways.

On today’s recipe, I am adding a simple tofu recipe to go along this dish. But you can use it for any other dish too. That’s what I love about this combo! It can be easily done and adaptable to anything you want. You can add different veggies, or make it spicier, or more peanuty. The mixes are endless.

On my Instagram, I left a story highlight with a video on how I made this, feel free to check it out here.
