ingredients:
For the tofu:

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. corn starch
For the Sauce:
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
½ cup water
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 lime, juiced
1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. white miso
2 tsp. freshly grated ginger
2 Tbsp. corn starch
Additional bowl ingredients:
1 package udon noodles (about 9.5 oz)
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Farm Direct Supply sugar snap peas, stems and strings removed*
1 cup Farm Direct Supply snow peas, stems and strings removed*
2 each small red, orange, and yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 cup cashews
Tbsp. sriracha, for garnish (optional)
instructions:
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or use a baking mat. Cut tofu into ½” cubes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil and soy sauce. Toss to combine. Then sprinkle corn starch over tofu and toss until corn starch is evenly coated and there are no clumps. Arrange tofu in an even layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway, until tofu is brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 2.
Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until there are no clumps of corn starch and set aside.
Step 3.
Boil a large pot of water and cook noodles according to package instructions.
Step 4.
While noodles are cooking, heat olive oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add all vegetables, toss to coat in oil, and cook for 1 minute. Add sauce to wok/skillet and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Turn heat off and add noodles. Toss to coat noodles in the sauce.
Step 5.
Serve topped with cashews and sriracha.
*To remove pea stems and strings, use a paring knife to snap off the stem end of the pea toward the top seam, leaving the stringy part attached. The partially disconnected end will act like a “zipper”. Pull the disconnected stem end to remove the string, just like a zipper. Repeat on the other side.
