Banh Mi Noodle Bowl (aka Bun Chay)
  1. Pour boiling water over rice noodles and let sit 5-6 minutes, or until softened, drain, rinse and set aside. (I use a shallow baking dish for this)

  2. (don’t skip!) At the same time heat ⅓ cup water and ⅓ cup vinegar on the stove in a small pot, add sugar, salt, radishes, and carrots and bring to a simmer, and toss to coat well. Turn heat off. Place them in a bowl and chill ( I’ll put this in the fridge or freezer for few minutes)- these can be made ahead.

  3. Place ingredients in a small bowl and whisk.

  4. Heat oil in a skillet, and season the oil with salt and pepper. Add the tofu and sear over medium heat until all sides are crispy. Stir in a little sriracha for heat at the end.

  5. Slice the cucumber, bell pepper and cabbage (using a mandolin is nice, or just very thinly slice).

  6. Divide the noodles and arrange all the veggies around it. Grab the chilling pickled veggies and divide. Add the tofu to the bowls and Spoon the flavorful dressing overtop.

  7. The bowls with fresh mint, jalapeño slices and lime wedges.
