Note: You can use any combination of veg that you have on hand. We sometimes throw in sweet peppers, mushrooms, sliced courgette. Be creative and use stir fry night as an opportunity to reduce waste from your fridge!
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180C
FOR THE TOFU
- Drain and press the tofu to remove as much moisture as possible
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a medium-sized sealable container and give it a shake
- Add the tofu to the marinade and shake it all together.
- Marinate for as long as possible (at least 15 minutes).
- Drain excess marinade and reserve for your stir fry sauce.
- Spead the tofu evenly on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 180 turning halfway through.
.FOR THE STIRFRY
- Mix the soy sauce, citrus juice, and Spice Drops together with the excess marinade (you can use the same container as before to avoid more washing up)
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat
- Boil the kettle or put a pot of water on the stove to boil (in preparation for your noodles)
- Add all of your chopped veg and stir regularly until they are cooked to your liking (about 6-10 minutes)
- You can add additional oil or water if the veg is sticking but we like a little caramelization on our veg
- Boil the noodles following the directions on the pack, then drain
- Add the sauce to the veg and stir to combine
- Finally, mix in your cooked noodles and baked tofu.
- Serve right away, and enojy!
