Minty Tomato and Noodle Stir Fry

We used fresh tuna instead of tofu. Almost any protein can be substituted for the tofu in this dish.

This vibrant Minty Tomato and Noodle Stir Fry is a refreshing one-wok wonder that’s ideal for warm weather. Fresh tomatoes, crisp leeks, spicy chili, and cubes of firm tofu are quickly stir-fried with thin rice noodles in a light, savory sauce, then finished with fragrant fresh mint and a touch of sesame oil.
.
The combination of cool mint and juicy tomatoes gives the dish a bright, herbaceous lift that’s surprisingly addictive. It’s naturally light, gluten-free (when using the right noodles and aminos), and comes together in under 30 minutes. Serve it hot, at room temperature, or chilled — it’s delicious any way!

Note: You can easily swap the tofu for cooked chicken, shrimp, beef, or even fresh tuna (as we sometimes do) for a different protein twist.Ingredients
