1. Cut the tofu into 12 pieces and mix with 1 tbsp of soy sauce and 1 tsp of sesame oil. Heat the remaining oil in a wok, then stir-fry the vegetables, garlic and ginger for 2 mins until the vegetables are starting to wilt. Drizzle with 2 tbsp water, then stir-fry for another min.
2. Add the noodles, sesame seeds and soy sauce from the marinated tofu, then stir-fry for 2 mins. Now add the tofu, splash over the remaining soy sauce, then cover with a lid or baking sheet. Leave for 1 min so that the tofu heats through, then gently mix into the rest of the stir-fry.
3. Lift the noodles and tofu into bowls and splash over a little more soy sauce and sesame oil to serve, if you like.

Giving tofu flavour

Tofu is often deep-fried to give it more flavour, but marinating it is a good way to add flavour without the fat. Sesame oil adds delicious nutty depth to stir-fries and it's well worth the investment as a little goes a long way.

'I'm not keen on tofu, but loved the nutty taste of the sauce with the flavours of the sesame, chilli and ginger working well.'

  OK dish but doesn't blow away. I browned my tofu first, it didn't look like this recipe would get much flavour into it.
