This easy vegan salad combines all of my favorite flavors of Southeast Asian cooking: peanut, chili, mint and cilantro. Thick, chewy udon noodles, though Japanese, stand up well to this Vietnamese-influenced peanut dressing.
Ingredients
- 1/4 lb fresh udon noodles (or 2 single-serving packets), boiled and drained $2
- 4 oz. extra-firm tofu, cubed $1.50
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil Pantry
- 1/2 small head red cabbage, sliced thinly $1
- 2 carrots, shredded $1
- 1 small bunch mint, chopped $1
- 1 small bunch cilantro, chopped $1
- 3 tbsp peanut butter Pantry
- 2 tbsp soy sauce Pantry

- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey Pantry
- chili sauce to taste $3 for 8 oz.
