Ingredients

  • 400g silken tofu, drained and cut into 2cm cubes
  • 400g dried udon noodles
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 200g sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 150g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 spring onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 120ml vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1

Gently pat the silken tofu cubes dry with kitchen paper and carefully coat each piece in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add tofu cubes in a single layer and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

3

Cook udon noodles according to package instructions, drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

4

In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, vegetable stock, and sesame oil to create the spicy miso sauce.

5

Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the white parts of spring onions, garlic, and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6

Add shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened. Add sugar snap peas and cook for another 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

7

Pour the spicy miso sauce into the wok and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked udon noodles and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the noodles are well coated and heated through.

8

Divide the noodles and vegetables among four serving bowls. Top with the crispy silken tofu cubes and garnish with the green parts of spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
