    4. Divide the noodles between 2 shallow bowls. Arrange the vegetables on top, then scatter over the tofu. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    Cook’s tip

    To toast sesame seeds, heat a heavy-based pan over a medium heat and add the seeds, stirring frequently until they just start to turn golden. They burn quickly, so watch them carefully.
