Method
step 1
Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and chilli flakes in a small bowl, then pour a little out into another small bowl and mix well with the cornflour to combine. Stir this back into the bowl with the rest of the sauce. Set aside.
step 2
Pat the tofu dry and season well. Put a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, pour in 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil and fry the tofu on all sides until golden, around 5-8 mins. Remove to a plate and set aside.
step 3
Heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil in the pan, then fry the carrots and broccoli, stirring constantly, for 4-5 mins, adding a splash of water towards the end. Stir through the garlic and ginger, and cook for a further few minutes until fragrant.
step 4
Add another splash of water to cook through the vegetables, then toss in the noodles, fried tofu, sauce and most of the coriander. Mix well.
step 5
Divide the noodles between four bowls and serve with the remaining chopped coriander sprinkled over.
