🍜 Sunlit Summit Tofu & Noodles
A simple savory bowl of crisp tofu, green beans, tomatoes, rice noodles, and Sunlit Summit Spice.
Some meals begin with a recipe.
Others begin by looking at what is already in the kitchen and wondering what might happen if it all goes into the same pan.
This one was an experiment.
It was also good enough to write down.
Ingredients
For the Tofu
1 package extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Avocado oil, for frying
For the Bowl
½ of the prepared tofu
About ½ cup green beans
About ½ cup canned diced tomatoes
About ½ cup cooked rice noodles
Sunlit Summit Spice, to taste
🍳 Prepare the Tofu
Cut the tofu into long rectangular pieces.
Place the entire package of tofu in a bowl or shallow dish and add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
Allow the tofu to soak up the seasoning.
Heat a little avocado oil in a pan and fry the tofu until lightly browned on the outside.
For this recipe, use approximately half of the prepared tofu. Save the remaining tofu for another meal.
🍜 Make the Bowl
Add about ½ cup green beans to the pan and cook until they begin to soften.
Add approximately half of the prepared tofu and ½ cup canned diced tomatoes.
Add Sunlit Summit Spice to taste and allow everything to cook together until hot and well seasoned.
Add about ½ cup cooked rice noodles and gently toss everything together, allowing the noodles to warm and pick up the tomatoes, seasoning, and flavors from the pan.
Serve warm.
☀️ The Sunlit Summit
The ingredient that turned this experiment into something I wanted to make again was Sunlit Summit Spice.
It brought the tofu, vegetables, tomatoes, and noodles together without making the bowl complicated.
Just a little warmth.
A little savoriness.
And a very successful kitchen experiment.

🍲 From the Mountain Kitchen
This is exactly the kind of recipe I want to remember.
Nothing elaborate.
Nothing that required an entire afternoon.
Just ingredients I already had, put together because they sounded good at the time.
And sometimes that is how a recipe earns its place in the Mountain Kitchen:
You make something once as an experiment.
Then you realize you want to make it again.
