Baked Five Spice Tofu Kebabs
with Ginger and Tahini Noodles
Our ‘veggie-fied’ kebabs are not only the perfect pick-me-up during the week, but really help to make this ‘healthy eating’ thing a doddle. This dish may take a little more time to prepare, but it’s certainly worth it! Our tasty kebabs are made with lots of lovely ingredients all marinated in a blend of Chinese 5 spice, soy sauce and a delicious Tracklements apricot and ginger chutney. A great combination of flavours and textures! Enjoy!
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees. Fully submerge the skewers in water and leave them there until you need them. Tip: This prevents the skewers from burning in the oven.
In the meantime, drain and chop the tofu into 2cm cubes. Peel and chop the red onion into quarters, and chop the green pepper into 2cm pieces. Chop the mushrooms in half.
Put 2 tbsp of olive oil, the Chinese 5 spice, chutney and half your soy sauce into a bowl and mix together. Add the tofu to the marinade and gently toss. Leave for 5 mins.
Remove the tofu from the marinade bowl and transfer to a plate. Now add the red onion, green pepper and mushrooms to the marinade bowl and toss to coat.
Remove the skewers from the water and thread the tofu and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating tofu - pepper - tofu - onion - tofu - mushroom etc. Place the skewers onto a baking tray and bake for 25 mins, turn the skewers over halfway through the cooking time. Tip: If you have any veggies that don’t fit on the skewers just pop them on the baking tray as well.
While the skewers are cooking, peel and finely chop the ginger. Tip: You can peel your ginger with the back of a spoon! Zest and juice half your lime. Trim the ends off the spring onion and finely slice. Remove the seeds from the chilli and finely chop it. Add the ginger, lime zest and juice, spring onion and chilli (as much as you dare!) to a bowl along with the rest of the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, tahini and 1 tsp of olive oil into a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
Bring a pot of water to the boil with ¼ tsp of salt. Place the noodles in the boiling water and cook for 4 mins (until just tender), then drain them. Place them in the bowl with the ginger and tahini sauce and toss together (until thoroughly coated).
Share your noodles between bowls and top each one with two skewers and any extra vegetables. Enjoy!
