Idea 7. Soy Noodles – Easy, Delicious and Nutritious – High Protein.

I LOVE NOODLES! And I love to make them this way because it has a lot of protein, it’s super easy to make, it’s super delicious, super nutritious and it’s guilt free. To me they are the real comfort food. This recipe is for two, it has ~25gr of protein each (you can swap the tofu with seitan for 40gr) and I hope you enjoy. Here we go:

Ingredients with their approximate protein breakdown:

  • 140gr Rice Noodles (Noodles of your choice, you can make it Gluten Free) ~10gr protein
  • 1 Zucchini ~2 gr protein
  • 1 Carrot ~1 gr protein
  • 1 Ginger~0.5 gr protein
  • 200gr Tofu ~24 gr protein
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil ~0 gr protein
  • 1 tsp Parsley ~0.1 gr protein
  • 1 tsp Oregano ~0.2 gr protein
  • 4 tbsp Soy Sauce ~4 gr protein (You can use Gluten Free to make a gluten free recipe)
  • 2 tbsp Peanut Butter ~8 gr protein
Total protein (approx.)

≈ 50 grams of protein

Notes
  • Most of the protein comes from tofu, peanut butter, soy sauce, and noodles.
  • If your tofu is extra-firm, protein could be higher by 35%.
  • If you swap tofu with seitan, protein could be higher by 85%.

Directions:

  1. Cook your noodles, according to package instructions.
  2. Dice 1 zucchini.
  3. Dice 1 carrot.
  4. Don’t forget the ginger.
  5. Fry them on medium heat, with 3 tbsp of olive oil.
  6. Add 1 tsp parsley.
  7. 1 tsp oregano.
  8. Cut 200gr tofu.
  9. Add it to the pan.
  10. Cook everything together, for 30 min on low.
  11. Meanwhile, mix 4 tbsp soy sauce and peanut butter together.
  12. When the veggies are done, put the noodles in the pan, and the soy sauce and mix everything together.
  13. Enjoy.
