Sesame Rice Noodles

This dish is super fast and easy, not to mention delicious. And Bestest likes it, too! Well, without the chili sauce...


Sesame Rice Noodles
1 lbs extra firm tofu, cubed
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/2 package vermicelli rice noodles
4 tbsp sesame seeds
1 cucumber, julienned 
Sweet chili sauce

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, julienne the cucumber. Next, heat the vegetable oil in a pan on medium and add the tofu. Cook until lightly browned. Mix the soy sauce and sesame oil together and add it to the pan. Turn the heat to low. Put the noodles in the boiling water for about 2 minutes, JUST long enough to soften. Any longer and the noodles will clump together into a big mess. Strain the noodles and place them into a bowl. Add the tofu and sauce and stir. Dish out into bowls, placing the tofu on one third of the bowl. Place a quarter of the cucumber in another third, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds on the other. Add a dollop of sweet chili sauce to the middle of the bowl to taste.
