Last week I created a brand new recipe that was so out of this world, I made it again shortly thereafter. Sesame Soy Tofu Noodle Bowl! A bowl of vermicelli noodles are tossed in a sauce made of tahini, lime, soy and hot sauce, it is surrounded with tofu that has been marinated in that sauce with the addition of sesame seeds and topped with roasted peppers and onions. OH MY GOSH, this meal is so flavorful! I'm so pleased with the results I think you will be too. This recipe is below and is also featured in my very first "What I Eat in a Day" series, featuring everything I make for Gerald and I from breakfast all the way to dinner. It has full recipes and I appear from time to time. The first time I heard about this was from a girl in Mazatlan, she said she loves watching what vegans eat and prepare. One year later, I finally checked it out and decided to dive into the stream of videos on YouTube. Enjoy! With love, Christa
