Recipes - Maple Mustard Vegetable Stir Fry with Rice Noodles

Ingredients
Wet:
1\4 cup Tamari (soy sauce)
1\4 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Dry:
6oz Asian rice noodles (Natta Pasta is a great one)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely diced or jarred
1 pound extra firm tofu diced into 1-inch cubes
1\2 pound sugar snap peas or green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
4oz button mushrooms sliced
1\2 bunch scallions cut into large chunks (separating whites from greens)
1\2 to 3\4 cup frozen corn
1\2 tablespoon canola oil
Gomasio* (optional) to season

 

Prep:
Add all wet ingredients in a jar, shake vigorously, and set aside. Boil water and cook rice noodles as directed. Strain in colander and drizzle with canola oil to prevent sticking.

Directions:
In a large skillet on medium heat, place 1\3 of the combined wet ingredients in with the tofu, white parts of scallion and ginger. When the sauce is bubbling, cover and stir occasionally until tofu is well coated and starting to brown. Add green beans and cover for another two minutes. Add mushrooms, scallion greens, corn, and another 1\3 of the combined wet ingredients, stir and cook for three minutes more. Turn off heat, add rice noodles and enough wet ingredients to coat the mix. Toss all ingredients in the skillet until well combined.

Serve hot, and top with Gomasio* if desired.

*Gomasio is a Japanese condiment that consists of toasted sesame seeds and sea salt. It can be used in place of salt and is full of flavor, but low in sodium.
