Rice Noodles with Tofu in Peanut Sauce
As soon as peanut sauce is a component of a dish, it has to be a yummy one. That's a rule of the thumb I learned from a peanut sauce-lexicon. Furthermore I read that it's important to have enough peanut sauce left for bad days and never forget some roasted peanut on top of the dish. It's as easy as that!
