Curry Noodle Soup with Peanut Tofu

Coconut Curry Noodle Soup and Peanut Tofu Recipe 

While I was planning dinner tonight, I was thinking about making coconut noodle soup, much like this one I made with bamboo shoots a while back. I wanted to change it up a little this time around, adding some more veggies and stronger flavours. The peanut tofu is cooked in a pan on the stove after marinating in peanut butter soy sauce for at least an hour. This helps the tofu absorb more flavour and blends amazingly well with the coconut red curry broth.
