  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup toasted sesame oil

  • 1 pound cooked and peeled medium shrimp

  • 12 ounce refrigerated firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and cubed

Tips

Bean thread noodles (also called glass noodles, cellophane noodles, or Chinese vermicelli) can be found in the ethnic section of many grocery stores or at Asian markets. Cooked rice noodles work, too.
