A vegan version of the typical Cantonese Chow Fun noodles, with bok choy and red onions! This is a staple recipe that is made with fresh dry flat rice noodles! Marinate the tofu, sauté the veggies and toss together with noodles and sauce!
This recipe is vegan version of my beef chow fun noodles! These have chopped bok choy and red onions. You can also add in bean sprouts and green onions! It’s so delicious, simple and one of my favorite noodle stir-fries growing up! I still remember always asking for this chow fun and fried rice whenever we went to a Chinese restaurant.
I didn’t add any bean sprouts because they aren’t safe for pregnancy but I would usually add them in! These flat rice noodles are bought fresh and blanched for 30 seconds, then tossed with the tofu, veggies and sauce!
