Buckwheat Vermicelli Stir Fry with Tofu

Last night was our first kid free night. If you have been following along, you know our kids are off at a sleep away camp for the next two weeks.

Mr. Fearless Dining and I had such a fun time making this Buckwheat Vermicelli Stir Fry with Tofu.

My husband and I decided to make dinner together, something we never seem to have time for during our hectic week. We decided to adapt a recipe from our very favorite cookbook, The Gluten Free Asian Kitchen by Laura Russell.

If you have not seen this book, or tried any of the recipes in this book, you need to check it out ASAP! This is the best gluten free meal cookbook I have ever seen. If you love Asian foods, this is definitely the cookbook for you. (This is not a sponsored post, my opinion of this cookbook is my own.)

We changed this recipe a LOT, the end result is so different, and so incredibly flavorful. (If you are following along in the cookbook, we adapted page 95, Soba Noodles with Stir-Fried Shiitake Mushrooms.)

So many Asian sauces are becoming more available in gluten free options. The vermicelli noodles are gluten free, making this the perfect dinner.

Here is a picture of the ingredients we used. Double check your red curry paste and hoisin to ensure they are gluten free. (We use Wok Mei hoisin, which is gluten free.) We used buckwheat vermicelli noodles, which we found at our local Asian market, Lion Supermarket.
