Instructions

1 Prep vegetables

Clean and slice the chestnut and shiitake mushrooms. Peel and finely slice the shallots and carrots. Peel and grate the garlic and ginger.

2 Prep tofu and sauce

Chop the tofu into cubes. Sprinkle with salt. Carefully turn the tofu in the corn starch and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha (spicy!), sesame oil and sesame seeds. This is your sauce.

3 Fry tofu

See pro tip! Heat a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry for 6-8 min until golden and crispy. When frying, handle the tofu gently and don't move it around too much. Remove the crisped tofu from the pan and set aside.

4 Fry vegetables

See pro tip! Return the pan to a high heat with a second drizzle of vegetable oil. Once very hot, add the mushrooms and fry for 5-8 min until starting to crisp. Add the shallots, carrots, salt and pepper. Fry for 2 min further. Finally, add the baby spinach, garlic and ginger. Cook for a final 1-2 min.

5 Prep noodles

Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Pour the boiling water over the glass noodles and cover for 3 min. Once tender, drain the noodles in a colander and run under cold water. Return the noodles to the bowl and cross-cut them a couple of times with scissors. Add the sauce. Fold to combine.

6 Combine

If you're cooking for 3 or 4, divide everything among two pans. Toss the fried tofu and the seasoned noodles in the fried vegetables. Divide the stir-fry among plates, sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes (spicy!) and serve immediately.
