Oriental tofu rice noodles recipe

This oriental tofu rice noodles recipe combines classic ingredients for an Eastern treat. If you’re following a FODMAP diet, be careful with the mangetout, as you are only allowed up to five pods per person. Pak choi is a FODMAP-friendly vegetable. The tofu is a great way to add in plant protein and the almond butter boosts the protein value of this meal. If you prefer, instead of tofu you can use chicken, pork or fish.
