Steps

1
Done

In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients for the lemongrass tofu: minced lemongrass, minced garlic, minced shallot, soy sauce (or tamari), maple syrup (or agave nectar), vegetable oil, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

2
Done

Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if possible.

3
Done

While the tofu is marinating, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside.

4
Done

In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients: soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, maple syrup (or agave nectar), lime juice, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and chili garlic sauce. Adjust the spiciness to your liking.

5
Done

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil. Fry the marinated tofu cubes until they are golden and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

6
Done

To assemble the noodle bowls, divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls. Top them with the lemongrass tofu, fresh bean sprouts, sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, fresh mint leaves, and fresh cilantro leaves.

7
Done

Drizzle the zesty dressing over the bowl contents.

8
Done

Garnish each bowl with a lime wedge.

9
Done

Serve the vegan Vietnamese-inspired lemongrass tofu noodle bowls immediately, with extra dressing on the side if desired.
