Today we're making Zoodles with peanut butter marinated tofu, a delicious way to bring zucchini to our table. We love how the marinade coats the tofu cubes and packs flavor into every single bite. With a quick stir-fry, we get a simple, plant-based dish full of great textures to break out of the everyday routine.
