Bean Threads with Tofu and Vegetables
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Bean threads, or cellophane noodles, are dry, fine, white noodles made from powdered mung beans. When cooked, they become transparent and appear to be made of cellophane.
Ingredients:
8
ounces firm tofu, drained and cubed
1
tablespoon dark sesame oil
3
teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
1
can (about 14 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1
package (3-3/4 ounces) uncooked bean threads
1
package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetable medley such as broccoli, carrots and red pepper, thawed
1/4
cup rice wine vinegar
1/2
teaspoon red pepper flakes
Preparation:
1.
Place tofu on shallow plate; drizzle with oil and 1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce.
2.
Combine broth and remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce in deep skillet or large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat. Add bean threads; simmer, uncovered, 7 minutes or until noodles absorb liquid, stirring occasionally to separate noodles.
3.
Stir in vegetables and vinegar; heat through. Stir in tofu mixture and red pepper flakes; heat through about 1 minute.
