As you know if you’ve made some of my other recipes, I like to make my recipes versatile for you so you can pick and choose and make them your own. With this spring roll bowl, it’s no different. You can add your protein of choice, dumplings, or spring rolls, the more the merrier at this party! You can also swap out the noodles for rice, and substitute any of the vegetables for whatever you have in your fridge.

Ingredients:
For this crispy tofu noodle bowl, you’ll need some simple ingredients. Let’s talk about some of the highlights. Fish Sauce: So many Asian-inspired dishes require fish sauce which makes it hard for vegans to have all the flavor. This vegan fish sauce recipe is easy-to-make and just as flavorful but it’s made with seaweed and mushrooms instead of fish. Veggies: Get creative here and use up what you have in your fridge. There are no wrong veggie combinations here. You could also roast some veggies alongside your tofu for a different type of bowl. Tofu: Use firm tofu here and make sure to press it before you cook it. This will help you get the best, crispy consistency. I usually just take it out in the AM and put a heavy can or two on top of it with a tea towel or paper towel.
How do you make this crispy tofu noodle bowl?
Fish Sauce: Making homemade fish sauce is completely optional. You can use premade vegan fish sauce or regular fish sauce if you’re not vegan. The vegan fish sauce can also last up to a month in the fridge in a sealed jar. Rice Noodles: You can use any type of noodle in this dish! Vermicelli, ramen, udon, pasta! Have fun with it and use what you have available. I enjoy using rice noodles because they soak up the flavor and I love that specific texture. But it is not made or break 🙂 Toppings: Have fun with your choice of toppings. Fresh cucumbers, sauteed mushrooms, or even sprouts would be great depending on what’s available to you/in season.
