Singapore Style Crispy Tofu & Black Pepper Noodles

with Green Beans, Pak Choi and Roasted Sesame Seeds

Inspired by black pepper ho fan, a popular noodle dish in Singapore, this aromatic and peppery dish uses rice noodles over egg noodles for their slightly chewy texture and ability to soak up flavours. Topped with tofu that's pan-fried until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, this deliciously savoury bowl is a showcase of the fusion flavours found in Singapore.

Instructions

Prep the Tofu
1

Drain the tofu and thoroughly pat dry with kitchen paper. Tear into 3cm chunks.

Add the tofu to a medium bowl with the flour and salt (see pantry for both amounts), then toss to coat.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn't burn.

Once cooked, remove from the pan to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Finish the Prep
2

While the tofu fries, trim the pak choi, then separate the leaves. Cut any larger leaves in half lengthways down the middle.

Trim the green beans. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Once cooked, wipe out the tofu pan and put back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Fry the Veg
3

Once the oil is hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.

Turn the heat down to medium, then add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil.

Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins. Remove the pan from the heat.

Flavour Time
4

Add the pak choi, cracked black pepper, ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree and remaining garlic to the beans and fry for 2-3 mins. 

Stir through the ketjap, sambal, soy sauce, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring up to a boil, then simmer. Cook until thickened, 2-3 mins. 

Once the sauce has thickened, toss through the tofu. 

Time for Noodles
5

While the sauce simmers, boil a full kettle.

Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan with ½ tsp salt and bring to the boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins.

Once cooked, add the noodles to the tofu pan and toss to coat in the sauce

Melt in the butter and remove from the heat. 

Serve Up
6
