15 Minute Chilli Tofu Noodles

This is my go-to lunch when I'm at the studio on my own. It's a super quick meal consisting of crispy tofu bits and spicy garlic noodles. I hope you enjoy it! Ben.

Method

1. 1

   Use your hands to crumble the tofu in a bowl until it reaches a mince-like consistency, then stir in the cornflour.

   
2. 2

   Add a small drizzle of oil to a non-stick wok or frying pan on a medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 7-10 minutes or until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally to break up any clumps of tofu.

   
3. 3

   Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the 5 spice, dark soy sauce and light soy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

   
4. 4

   Meanwhile, for the noodles, add most of the spring onion (save some for topping), garlic, chilli oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, maple syrup and rice vinegar to a mixing bowl.

   
5. 5

   Cook the noodles in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently to separate them. Then drain the noodles and stir them into the sauce.

   
6. 6

   Add the noodles to a serving bowl and top with the crispy tofu and remaining spring onion. We also love to drizzle extra chilli oil over the top, but this is optional! Enjoy!
