– 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced

– 1/2 cup frozen edamame (shelled and defrosted)
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the sauce
Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the vegetables
Place the cauliflower, tofu, and remaining vegetables in separate bowls and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil each. Use your hands to toss everything well.
Step 3: Cook the noodles
Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 4: Heat up the wok
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil (or more if using a non-stick pan). Swirl the oil around to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 5: Add the tofu
Add the tofu to the hot wok and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Step 6: Add the rest of the vegetables
Add the remaining vegetables to the same wok and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 7: Add the sauce
Pour the prepared sauce into the wok and mix everything together. Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 1 minute.
Step 8: Serve immediately
Divide the vegetable stir fry among four serving bowls. Top with cooked soba noodles and additional sprinkles of sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro. Enjoy!
Note: You can also serve this delicious vegan stir fry over cauliflower rice or zoodles for a low-carb option.
