Tofu Satay Noodles

January 14

I use extra firm tofu which means you have less moisture and can get a good crispy crust on the outside without needing to dust in cornflour. Resist the temptation to turn your pieces of tofu until they are a lovely golden brown. Mixed with an addictive peanut butter satay sauce this is a family favourite that won’t break the bank!

  • time 20mins

Method

  1. 1. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 8 minutes then drain and rinse under warm water. Set aside.
  2. 2. Blend all the ingredients for the sauce together.
  3. 3. In a large wok or pan heat half the oil and fry the tofu cubes for 1-2 minutes on all sides until they are golden and crisp. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and cook for a minute more then tip onto a plate.
  4. 4. Add the rest of the oil to the pan alongside the sprouts, cut side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes until browned. Flip over and add a splash of water, before adding in the noodles with the sauce and tofu, allowing to cook for a minute more.
  5. 5. Toss together and serve.
