Peanut Soba Noodles


Ingredients
1 pkg soba noodles
1 bottle peanut sauce (365-whole foods)
1/2 pkg tofu, small dice
1 tsp safflower oil
1 cup green beans
1 carrot
1/2 cup cashews, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 lime

Directions
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil
2. Meanwhile, saute tofu in a non-stick pan on medium in the safflower oil for 8-10 minutes until golden, add 2 Tbs of peanut sauce and mix well
3. Boil soba noodles for 5 minutes, adding the green beans for 3 minutes, and the carrots for 1 minute, drain, and coat with remaining peanut sauce
4. Stir in cashews, cilantro, and tofu (garnish with lime wedges)

This was my quick supper that I threw together tonight. When you have the peanut sauce already prepared the meal comes together super quick, although a peanut sauce is pretty easy to make. I love that the soba noodles only take 4-6 minutes. Not only are they delicious and hearty, they are perfect for the quick dinner. I cubed the tofu into smaller pieces because I wanted them to cook faster.
