- 1.5 teaspoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut cream
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

- 2 cups thinly sliced vegetables (carrot, cucumber, radish, red bell pepper, onion)

Let's start by pickling the vegetables. Put vinegar, water, salt, and sugar in a jar and mix well.
Add the vegetables and ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Then refrigerate for about an hour.
Move on to the curried tofu. Slice the tofu and fry each side for 3-4 minutes in a pan heated over medium heat.
Mix the sauce ingredients in the coconut cream and add to the pan, cooking until thickened.
Once the sauce coats all tofu pieces, remove from heat.
To prepare the sauce, mix all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Place lettuce, noodles, and pickled vegetables in bowls.
Add the curried tofu on top, drizzle with some sauce, and sprinkle with mint and cilantro. Add a lime wedge and serve.
Store leftover ingredients separately and combine when needed.
