Ingredients
- •1 portion Udon noodles
- •1 small onion or 2 shallots
- •1 handful green beans
- •1 cup(s) of marinated tofu
- •1 large handful of baby leaf spinach
- •1 heaped tsp of Sambal Oelek (Indonesian Chilli Sauce)
- •1 lime (juice of)
- •1 tsp. of sweet freedom or agave nectar
- •1 tsp. of white or rice wine vinegar
- •2 tbsp. of soy sauce or shoyu
- •1 tbsp. of groundnut oil
Directions
-
Bring a large pan of water to the boil.
-
Make the sauce by combining all the Sambal Oelek, lime juice, sweet freedom (agave), white wine vinegar, soy sauce and oil in a bowl. Whisk or stir thoroughly with a spoon and set aside.
-
Heat a little groundnut oil in a wok or skillet/frying pan. Finely slice the onion or shallots and add to pan. You want them to crisp up a little.
-
Slice the green beans diagonally and into small pieces. Add to pan with a little soy sauce.
-
Toss in the marinated tofu – I use the Cauldron Brand. Stir fry for several minutes. At this stage I add a tablespoon or so of the sauce just so the flavours infuse before combining the noodles.
-
Cook the udon noodles in the boiling water for 6-8 minutes, I personally don’t like to it to be too al dente because it’s quite a dense noodle anyway. Drain, return to pot and cover to keep warm.
-
Add the spinach and stir fry for a few short minutes until it begins to wilt. Then add the noodles and mix through before adding the remainder of the sauce. Allow to heat through for about a minute.

Sprinkle some sesame seeds (toasted would be even better!) on top to serve
