Spicy Peanut Noodles & Baked Tofu

These Thai-inspired peanut noodles are not only delicious, but also vegan and gluten-free using organic, whole-food ingredients. The creamy peanut sauce is perfect balance of tangy and sweet with a little kick from ginger and chili pepper. The sauce is tossed with gluten free sweet potato noodles, baked high protein organic tofu, and seasoned roasted broccoli, then the whole dish is topped with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and an addictive peanut-chili crunch for a little extra kick. Turn up the heat on any weeknight with this good and good-for-you dish!

About Lena Elkousy

Chef Lena Elkousy is a plant-based holistic foods chef, health coach, and yoga teacher. She started her restaurant culinary career in LA in 2004, and then worked as a private chef and caterer for high profile clientele beginning in 2008 in Malibu and Hollywood. Elkousy began her journey into the world of culinary healing upon moving to New York and studying health coaching through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2012. She believes that food is fuel, and not all calories are created equal; putting in calories that burn clean; and have anti-inflammatory properties will make you feel energized and improve your digestion, mood, and overall health. She cooks with functional foods; meaning the ingredients have nutritional benefits and have been prepared in a way that makes them bio-available, and that are seasonal, local, organic, and carbon-neutral. She has healed herself and witnessed many clients and friends recover from 'chronic' and 'auto-immune' illnesses, which are more frequently than not caused by inflammation triggered by toxins in food and/or unknown food sensitives. By eliminating many of these toxins and allergens, using as many fresh, medicinal ingredients as possible, and making everything from scratch, Elkousy's food is nutrient-rich, delicious, creative, and makes you feel good. Elkousy is Egyptian American, and has been traveling internationally with culinary adventure and curiosity her whole life, and this adventurousness is reflected in her unique cuisine. Elkousy has also been studying and practicing yoga for over a decade, and teaching since 2014. She leads retreats domestically and abroad, encompassing her passion for a holistic lifestyle through yoga, cooking workshops, nutrition, nature, and mindfulness. She loves spending her free time gardening and traveling. Elkousy is currently based between NYC and the UK.
