Ingredients:


2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp frozen chopped ginger
1 tsp frozen chopped garlic
½ red chilli, thinly sliced
125g firm tofu, such as Cauldron, cut into large cubes
75g medium egg noodles
1 tsp vegetable oil​
1 head pak choi, quartered
½ medium carrot, cut into matchsticks
40g mangetout

Method:


  1. Stir together the peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sliced chilli. Add 2 tbsp boiling water and mix until combined. Add the tofu to the bowl, gently stirring until well coated. Leave to marinade for 5 mins.
  2. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the noodles and cook for 5-6 mins until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok and lift the tofu out of the marinade into the pan. Cook for 1-2 mins on each side until well browned and crispy. Lift out of the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the pak choi, carrot and mangetout to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 mins until beginning to colour.
  5. Pour over any remaining marinade from the bowl and cook for 1 min.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the pan along with a splash of boiling water if the sauce is too thick and cook for 1 min, stirring until the noodles are well coated. Return the tofu to the pan to warm through before tipping on a plate to serve.
Tip: Leftover tofu freezes well; why not make extra peanut sauce and freeze marinated tofu in a lidded container, ready to defrost and cook.
