Method
- 1
Pat the tofu dry with kitchen paper. Heat the sunflower oil in a non stick pan and fry the tofu for 8 minutes, turning, until golden on most sides.
8 min - 2
Whisk the peanut butter, tamari, sesame oil, lime juice, sugar, ginger, garlic and warm water until smooth. It should be like thick cream.
- 3
Soak or boil the noodles following the packet, usually 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water.
5 min - 4
Tip the carrots and pepper into the tofu pan for 3 minutes, so they stay a little crunchy.
3 min - 5
Toss the noodles with the sauce, vegetables and tofu, until everything is coated.
- 6
Serve in bowls topped with spring onions, sesame seeds and chilli flakes.
