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.

    Lovely this, will make it again. Cooking for two meat eaters is tricky, but they both loved this. Crunchy tofu is always a winner!

    This was delicious! After reading the reviews (and seeing what was in my cupboard!) I made a couple substitutions. The most important thing is you drain the tofu then wrap in kitchen paper, place a plate on it and then place another plate on top with a heavy pan or jug on it and leave for about 15 minutes. This will firm up the tofu and mean it takes up the flavour of the sauce better. Then I doubled the sauce ingredient (added a garlic clove as well) and marinaded the tofu in it for 30 minutes before frying. This will really improve the flavour. Apart from that I just swapped pak choi for the bean sprouts and used egg noodles (cos that's what I had in). It's worth the extra time to marinade and properly drain the tofu. Even my tofu hating mum really enjoyed it!

    Very nice dish, used madras paste which is slightly hotter & no need to snip the noodles just break them up before putting in the boiled water(if using dry noodles) never eaten tofu before but it tasted ok mixed with the sauce, will make this again as I love Chinese style food & it was so quick to make
