Ingredients
1/2 454 g pkg vermicelli rice noodles, about 1/2 in (1 cm) width
1 lemon
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 450 g pkg extra-firm tofu, cut into cubes
1 sweet pepper, cut into bit-sized strips
1 225 g pkg sliced mushrooms
1/2 lb snow peas, or snap peas, trimmed
Instructions
Fill a kettle with water and bring to a boil. Pour into a large bowl. Add noodles, separating as you add them. Soak, stirring and separating from time to time until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
Meanwhile, squeeze ¼ cup (50 mL) juice from the lemon into a small bowl. Add 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) cold water and soy sauce. Whisk in cornstarch. Stir in ginger, honey and garlic.
Set a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. When hot, add the tofu. Cook until lightly golden, turning once, about 4-6 minutes.
Add pepper and mushrooms. Stir-fry until they begin to soften slightly, 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat if stir-fry starts to stick. Add snow peas. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Stir in lemon mixture. Cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in noodles and serve immediately. Leftovers will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.
