Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Drain your tofu and pat it dry with kitchen paper
Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes
Combine your ground cumin and cornflour in a bowl, add a small pinch of salt and give everything a good mix
Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and mix until everything is evenly coated

Wash your pak choi, then pat it dry with kitchen paper
Cut the base off the pak choi and discard, then slice the rest finely
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and grate your ginger

Boil a kettle
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the coated tofu cubes and cook for 6-8 min, turning occasionally until crisp
Once the tofu is crisp, transfer it to kitchen paper and set aside (save the pan!) – this is your crispy tofu

Meanwhile, add your wholewheat noodles to a pot and cover them with boiled water until fully submerged
Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5 min until tender, then drain and return them to the pot until serving

Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the grated ginger and sliced pak choi and cook for 3-4 min or until the pak choi starts to soften

Add your peanut butter, soy sauce, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar, the juice of half your lime[s] and 100ml [125ml] [150ml] water to the pak choi and give everything a good mix up
Season with a pinch of salt
Cook for a further 1 min, or until the liquid is well mixed and starts to thicken slightly – this is your pak choi & peanut sauce

Meanwhile, chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s] finely
Slice your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Chop the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Serve the crispy tofu and pak choi & peanut sauce over the wholewheat noodles
Top with the chopped coriander, sliced spring onion and chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)
Garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
