This is one simple and delicious recipe! I did this recipe at a live corporate wellness presentation for the City of Kitchener, with 20 audience members along with 3 other recipes for healthy eating at work that included spiced nuts as a snack, tempeh bacon, avocado & tomato sandwiches and mini berry cheesecakes for dessert. In this recipe, I prepared the vegetables before the demo, made the dressing first in front of everyone and set aside, while I worked on other components of the demo. Near the end I added the noodles to a big pot of boiling water and served with other lunch items. I served the bowl with roasted chicken, which baked in the oven as it was less active than making the tofu and I had other things I wanted to show during the 90-minute demo. It's pretty yummy, try it at home tonight!
