(here’s what I made<\/a>)

\nI fried the tofu, with soy sauce & brown sugar, the way I do for peanut noodles<\/a> – it’s a method I got from Deborah Madison<\/a>. The dressing for the salad is miso, sugar, and Mirin & sake – so almost all sweet. When I tossed the salad together I added some rice vinegar to cut the sweet. Then I decided to put the salad over some rice noodles. The last time I made these – you soak them in hot water and then stir fry – they got too soft, so I was extra quick to get the noodles out of the soaking water water. And I didn’t fry them in a lot of oil or sauce, or for very long. They were pretty chewy last night. I felt really full after dinner, but nicely empty by morning – I am sure it’s because I ate a plant-protein based meal – even though I ate a lot of it!<\/p>\n

I brought the leftover with-noodle salad for lunch today – there’s sill some left without the noodles the fridge. As often happens when I bring something savory, I got hungry well before lunch time, and ate all the salad and noodles at about 10:00 – they had gone from chewy and stretchy to chewy and hard, but not unpleasantly so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
