Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 5 tbsp peanut butter
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 3 clove garlic
- 14 oz coleslaw mix (bagged)

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts(optional)
Method
Boil the linguine and save a cup of the cooking water.
Press the tofu dry, cube it and brown it in the vegetable oil until crisp on several sides.
Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil and minced garlic with a half cup of hot pasta water.
Toss the drained noodles with the sauce, loosening with more pasta water until it coats every strand.
Fold in the raw coleslaw mix so it stays crunchy, along with the tofu.
Top with sliced scallions and chopped peanuts.
