RICE NOODLES with TOFU and BOK CHOY
(from kylerhea’s recipe box)
Good with ASIAN SPINACH SALAD (http://recipething.com/recipes/show/13139)
“Look for water-packed tofu, which will hold its shape when cooked and tossed with the noodles. If rice noodles are unavailable, substitute angel hair pasta.
TIP: If you can’t find bok choy, almost any quick-cooking crisp vegetable will work. Try snow peas or shredded Napa cabbage.
