Spicy Egg Noodle Stir Fry

Spicy noodle night is one of our favorite dinners - in fact, it's a recipe we enjoyed quite a bit before Tyler's diagnosis, and I quickly realized we could continue to enjoy it if I just made a few tweaks here and there, especially in the soy sauce department. Vegans can still enjoy this dish with a few minor tweaks (see asterisk below).

Ingredients: 
1 package tofu (the brand we use has 45 mg total), drained and cubed
1 package wide egg noodles* (we use Peapod store brand, which has 30mg total)
1 carrot (25 mg)
1 bell pepper (4 mg)
3 tsp. Sriracha (240 mg total)
1.5 tsp. Bragg's Liquid Aminos (480 mg total)
1 T. unsalted butter** (0 mg)
To taste: water**, paprika, red pepper flakes, sesame oil & rice vinegar (all of which are 0 mg)
Optional garnish:
Cilantro (1mg per sprig) and Green Onions (4.5mg in 30g)

Cook egg noodles according to package directions (obviously, omit salt if the instructions call for it). In large skillet, melt butter and saute red pepper flakes as it melts. Add tofu and veggies and saute for about 3 minutes. Add Sriracha, Bragg's, water, paprika, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, and stir to mix evenly. Add to drained noodles, stir, cover and set for about 5-10 minutes. Top with cilantro and green onions if desired.

*For a vegan version of this recipe, sub in wide rice noodles and 2T. olive oil in place of butter - it's just as delicious!
*I usually use about a 1/4 c. of water.

Total: 824, excluding optional garnish. Serves 2-4, depending on how hungry you are (412 mg per serving if divided in half; 206 mg per serving if divided into fourths).
