- Cook the flat rice noodles according the package instructions.
- Remove the tofu from the sauce. Add in the cornstarch, stirring well to ensure there are no clumps.
- Add the sauce in the same pot as before and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Once the sauce thickens, add in the rice noodles. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the sautéd vegetables. Add more peanut butter for a creamier texture.
