  1. SLURPY EGG NOODLES

    Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the noodles with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.

  2. GET THE BALLS ROLLIN’

    Place the grated tofu in a clean tea towel, close up, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place the drained tofu in a bowl along with the grated Carrot and seasoning. Gradually mix in the corn flour until fully combined. Roll into 4-5 balls and leave to rest in the fridge.

  3. SESAME SEEDS & PAK CHOI

    Place the sesame seeds in a large pan or wok over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well.

  4. IT’S A FRY UP

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with 4-5cm of oil. When hot, deep fry the tofu balls for 2-5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the pan on completion and drain on some paper towel.

  5. OH SO STICKY TERIYAKI

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the pak choi and peas for 1-2 minutes until the leaves have wilted. Add the sticky teriyaki sauce, 15ml of a sweetener of choice and the grated Garlic. Leave to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Add water in 5ml increments if it reduces too quickly. Add the cooked egg noodles and toss until fully combined.
