Chili Cashew Tofu Noodles

Ingredients:

8 ounces rice noodles
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 block firm tofu, cut into cubes
1 clove garlic, minced
4 red chili peppers, seeded and chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1 cup bamboo shoots (optional)
1 cup whole roasted cashews
hot pepper sauce, to taste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 green onions, chopped, divided white and green parts
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Soak noodles in hot water for half an hour (not all the way through).

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and lime juice.

Heat coconut oil and add tofu. Fry the tofu in the oil and add garlic, chili peppers, red bell pepper, and white parts of the green onion. Cook for about 5 minutes then add cashews. Stir in rice noodles and bamboo shoots. Fold in sauce, hot pepper sauce, and remaining green onion. Cook until noodles are al dente. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil and cilantro.

Garnish with more cilantro and serve with a wedge of lime.
