I would be grateful if you shared this recipe :-)

If you love Asian foods, this easy broccoli tofu stir fry with buckwheat vermicelli is a great recipe to try.

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. Two weeks of awesome date nights!!

This healthy vegan stir-fry recipe is a delicious vegan dinner the whole family will love.

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 but have balked because you didn’t think you could make Asian food gluten free, 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 also used buckwheat vermicelli noodles, which we found at our local Asian market.

How to make an easy stir fry sauce:

Mix the sesame oil, red curry paste, hoisin, tamari, and sake together in a small bowl. Whisk to blend thoroughly.

How to make a broccoli tofu stir fry:

The tofu should become golden and crispy on the edges.

Stir frying the vegetables in my cast iron skillet.

Mix together vermicelli noodles with the stir-fried veggies and tofu in sauce. Then serve while warm.
