3 steps

Any veg you happen to have in your fridge can go into a batch of saucy peanut noodles, which is perfectly portable and delicious cold. Peanut sauce keeps well in the fridge for weeks, and can be made with almond, cashew or an alternative nut butter instead, if needed. For added texture, toss your tofu cubes in cornstarch and brown in a drizzle of oil in a hot skillet until crispy on all sides.

Instructions

Step 1

To make the peanut sauce, combine all the ingredients with a fork (or use an immersion blender), adding enough hot water or coconut milk to thin it to your desired consistency. (This will depend on your taste and the thickness of the peanut butter.)

Step 2

Cook the noodles according to the package directions, adding a handful of broccoli florets for the last minute to blanch them, if you like. Drain and transfer to a shallow bowl. Add the veggies, season the tofu with a pinch of salt and add it too, then drizzle over the peanut sauce (as much as you like) and toss to coat. Sprinkle with green onions and chopped peanuts.

Step 3

If you choose, coat tofu cubes in cornstarch and fry in a pan with oil for more flavour and texture.
