    Definitely delicious but both times I made this the noodles were mushy. Any suggestions to avoid this happening again? thanks!

      Ensure you don’t overcook the noodles (as rice noodles cook very quickly in boiling water). Right when they’re done, rinse them in cold water and if you’re not using them right away, toss them in a bit of sesame oil to them to keep them from sticking together! Hope this helps.

    Don’t see a link to your baked tofu that is referenced in this post. Curious if it is also seasoned or not?
