Somen Japanese Noodles

Directions

Makes 3 servings

1 8-ounce package Japanese somen noodles
vegetable oil spray
1 12.3-ounce package firm low-fat silken tofu, sliced
2 cups sliced brown mushrooms
2 cups shredded napa cabbage
1 zucchini, sliced
3 green onions, chopped
water or vegetable broth (if needed)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons agave nectar

Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse, and set aside in a large bowl.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Mist pan with a little vegetable oil spray and add tofu. Cook until golden on both sides. Remove tofu and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms, cabbage, zucchini, and green onions until tender. Add a little water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking, if needed. Add tofu and veggies to noodles.

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, and agave nectar. Pour over noodles and toss.
