Spicy Tofu Kimchi Noodles

Описание: Spicy Tofu Kimchi Noodles 🍜🌶️

This noodle recipe is a perfect weeknight meal when you are short on time but not on flavor! I love doing stir fry noodle recipes like this because they are easy, customizable, and flavorful. They take less than 30 minutes to throw together, and you can make use of any extra vegetables you have in the fridge. I threw in kimchi for added spice and umami. Give this recipe a try and follow for more quick and easy weeknight meal recipes!
