Method

  1. Put the noodles in a bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Leave for 4 mins, then drain and rinse under running cold water until cold. Drain well, then snip into short lengths with scissors.
  2. Rinse the tofu in cold water, then cut into small chunks. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok or large frying pan, add the tofu, then stir-fry for 2-3 mins, stirring until lightly browned. Drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the wok and heat up. Add the spring onions, ginger, pepper and mangetout, then stir-fry for 1 min. Add the noodles and beansprouts, then stir to mix. Blend together the curry paste, soy, chilli sauce and 1 tbsp water, then add to the wok, stirring until everything is well coated in the sauce. Serve sprinkled with coriander, with lime wedges for squeezing over.

    This is fabulous - easy, quick and delicious. It was really tasty and the crunch of the veg is fab with the soft noodles and tofu. The tofu was surprisingly tasty despite not being marinaded in anything.

    This was great. My husband loved it as well. I might need to invest in some better sweet chilli because it needed a bit more of a kick for us. Was very easy and tasty.

    My partner (a vegetarian) and I ( a meat eater who normally doesn't like tofu) really enjoyed this. Very easy and very tasty, with a great contrast in terms of the soft noodles and crunchy veg. Apparently it was so good my partner would happily pay money for it in a restaurant!

    This was quick, easy and tasty although I did substitute the tofu for paneer as no-one in our family likes tofu.

    I made this last night, and it was absolutely divine, and I am not a vegetarian! I had marinted the tofu in Teriyaki Sauce all day long, and then I sauted the tofu first in a few sprays of 'mild and light olive oil spray' (am trying to watch the calories), and I had to keep turning all the pieces of tofu until they were crispy and golden brown on all sides...then I took them out and rested them on kitchen towel while I cooked the rest of the stir fry. I also used the straight to wok noodle variety, for quickness. The sauce was gorgeous - like a cross between a curry and a chinese - it was hot and spicy, but sweet and salty too, and the lime added the sourness, It was quick, and easy to make. An absolute winner!

    Light and tasty and really easy to make. I used wheat noodles instead of rice noodles. Tasted better than most noodle dishes I have got in a restaurant.

    Very nice - I marinated the tofu in the curry/soy/chilli mix for half an hour before frying which tasted fantastic.

    This really didn't do it for me. It wasn't disgusting, but it didn't really have a lot of flavour despite the sauces. I also wasn't sure whether to use dipping style sweet chilli sauce or stir fry style? I did like the nice soft tofu though so will try another recipe.

    Didn't really work for me unfortunately. It was ok, but the balance of flavours wasn't that good. I wonder why tikka masala paste is an ingredient here anyway, I didn't feel it went that well with all the thai flavours. If I ever made it again I would use red thai curry paste.

    I'm Singaporean so this is a tad bit too bland for me. I would add in some sambal oelek instead of the sweet chilli sauce(if you can get them in stores) or substitute it with any sort of chilli-based paste like harissa or thai red curry paste. Singaporean food is all about fusion i'm not surprised to see the tikka masala here. Cheers!

    Yummy! I too marinated the tofu for an hour or so, as I find it rather bland. Used ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and rice wine. Then just followed the rest of the recipe. I just love singapore noodles and am enchanated with the sauce recipe... will re-adapt with all sorts of things, thanks.

    I cooked the vegetables as the instructions said (marinated the tofu, though, with garlic, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and oyster sauce) and this healthy mix in pitas. After some additional sweet chili sauce and soy sauce the guests all loved it!

    this dish is ok, but not great. I also marinated the tofu for about a hour in the sauce, and I doubled the ingredients for the sauce. I think it would be very bland if one does not do this. I also added some garlic and seasoned a bit more after serving with chili sauce
