Instructions

1

Peel and grate the garlic.  

Zest and cut the lime into wedges. 

Slice the tofu widthways into 2 thick 'steaks' per person and pat dry with kitchen paper.

Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Trim the spring onions then slice thinly.

2

-Fill and boil your kettle

- Make the dressing for the noodles by mixing the, sesame oil, sugar for the noodles (see ingredients for amount), half the ketjap manis and a squeeze of lime juice and zest in a large bowl.

- Stir to combine then set to one side. 

-Fill and boil your kettle 

3

- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. 

- Once hot, lay the tofu slices into the pan and cook until golden, 4-5 mins on each side. Adjust the heat if necessary.

- Meanwhile, make the BBQ sauce by mixing the BBQ sauce, sriracha and water (see ingredients list for amount) in another small bowl. 

- Once the tofu is golden, turn off the heat and carefully pour in the BBQ sauce. 

- Turn the tofu over in the sauce to evenly coat. 

-Transfer the tofu to a plate and keep warm. Wipe out the pan but don't wash it up.

4

-While the tofu is frying, pour the boiling water from your kettle into a large saucepan with a pinch of salt and bring back to the boil.

- Cook the noodles for 4 mins. 

- Drain in a sieve and add to the bowl with the dressing. Mix well. 

5

Return the now empty frying pan to medium-high heat and add the coleslaw mix, half the spring onions and garlic with the remaining ketjap manis. Stir fry for 2 mins, until just tender. Add this to the bowl with the noodles and dressing and mix well with the coriander.

6

-Serve the noodles onto plates and pop the tofu (and all the BBQ sauce!) on top. 

- Sprinkle over the remaining spring onions, serve with lime wedges and tuck in!
