Before you start
Preheat oven to 190℃, fan setting | Mixing bowl | Small mixing bowl | Frying pan | Saucepan
Marinade the tofu
- Cut the pressed tofu into small bite size chunks
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the sesame oil, tamari, miso paste, rice vinegar, brown sugar and a good pinch of salt
- Add in the tofu chunks and mix well until all of the tofu chunks are coated
- Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better though, so we like to do it early and leave it for 4 hours)
Preheat the oven and roast the tofu
- Once the tofu has been marinating for a good amount of time, place the tofu chunks onto a large baking tray and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden
Start the stir fry
- Slice the red peppers into thin strips
- Place a large pan over a medium heat and add a drizzle of olive (or sesame) oil
- Once warm, add the red pepper strips and a pinch of salt
- Mix well and cook for 5-10 minutes until soft
- Once soft, add the mangetout and cook for 5-10 minutes until soft with a slight bite
Once the vegetables are cooked, add the noodles
- Add the noodles into the pan with the vegetables and mix well
- Pour in the satay sauce and mix well, then add the tofu chunks (saving some for the top) and peanuts - you may want to mix through another dash of boiling water if the sauce is too thick
Time to serve
- Spoon the stir fry noodles into serving bowls, top with tofu chunks, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, some coriander, roasted peanuts and a lime wedge on the side
