Citrus Tofu Noodles

This Citrus Tofu Noodles is the perfect idea for a quick and delicious meal.

You will be impressed by the subtle sweet citrus taste. It’s best to use freshly squeezed juice from a small orange. But if you don’t have that, orange juice from the box also works.

Use light soy sauce or dark soy sauce. The best is to use a combination of both. The difference between them is that light soy sauce is saltier but less colorful than dark soy sauce. So if you only use the light one, your meal will be salty, but not so rich in soy sauce flavor. And if you only use the dark one, the flavor will be too strong. The key is to create balance between saltiness and flavor and that is why is better to combine both. If you want a gluten free meal, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

If you can’t find sesame oil in the supermarkets or you don’t have it in the kitchen, simply replace it with any oil. Same goes with vinegar, use any vinegar you have.
