Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Blue Dragon sweet chilli sauce
- 2½ tbsp soy sauce
- 280g firm tofu, cut into 1.5cm cubes
- 1 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Lemongrass Paste
- 1 unwaxed lime, zest and juice
- 1½ tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red pepper, halved, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into fine strips or grated
- 1 bunch/es salad onions, finely sliced on the diagonal
- 2 x 275g packs cooked rice noodles
Method
Preheat the grill to high. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce and ½ tbsp soy sauce. Add the tofu, tossing to coat, then spread the cubes over a foil-lined baking tray, spooning over the marinade. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and sticky.
Meanwhile, in the same mixing bowl (there’s no need to rinse it out), combine the remaining 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce and 2 tbsp soy sauce, the lemongrass paste, and lime zest and juice to make a sauce for the noodles; set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Add the pepper, carrots and most of the salad onions (reserving a few slices); season and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the noodles and stir fry for 1 minute, then add the sauce and fry for a final minute. Divide among 4 plates, top with the tofu and scatter over the reserved salad onions. Serve immediately.
Cook’s tip
Leftover lemongrass paste? This is handy for adding a beautiful fragrance to curries, marinades or coconutty soups.
