I like my food with a bit of spice hence I added a whole chilly - but you don't have to!
Ingredients
-Medium egg noodles (I find Sharwood dried ones the best, and used 2 portions for 2 people)
-Firm tofu stirfry
-Sesame oil
-Oyster sauce
-Soya sauce
-Fish sauce
-3 spring onions
-1 Red chilly
-100g Mushrooms
-1 pepper
Preparation time: 6 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes
Step 1
- Slice the mushrooms, peppers, spring onions and red chilly (into thin strips).
- Cut the tofu into medium sized cubes - not too small.
Step 2
- Fry the tofu in sesame oil in high heat until all sides of the cubes are golden brown - this may take up to 15 minutes. Would be best to use a fryer but unfortunately I don't have one!
Step 3
- Heat 3 tbsp sesame oil in a wok and add the vegetables. Put the peppers in first, add chillies, spring onions and mushrooms 2 minutes later. The peppers first because they need extra time to soften.
Step 4
- Boil the noodles for 5-6 minutes. Check to see if they are cooked, DO NOT OVERCOOK! Make sure they're cooked but more on the firm side than soft.
- Drain the noodles.
Step 5
- As the vegetables begin to soften add 3 tablespoons on oyster and soya sauce and 1 table spoon fish sauce. Add a pinch of salt. Fry for a maximum of 8 minutes - you don't want to overcook.
- Add the noodles
- Generously drizzle soya sauce and serve!
This is a great recipe that I have come across at such a convenient time - I have a vegetarian friend coming over for dinner next weekend & was deciding what to cook for her - this looks perfect!
