Peanut Noodles with Chili Lime Tofu

These peanut noodles with chili lime tofu are my favorite thing to eat! They’re pretty easy to make (really all you have to do is bake some tofu, whisk together a sauce, and cook some noodles), but they taste like a fancy meal.  Lots of nutty, spicy, sweet, and sour flavors all combined into one delicious bowl… check out the recipe below to try them for yourself!
