Method

- Prepare and drain the noodles according to the packet. Dice and pan-fry the tofu.
- Add finely sliced vegetables and garlic, and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
- Toss in noodles, soy sauce and lime juice and warm through.
- Before serving, check: Taste one piece a minute before the packet time: it should be cooked through but still have a little bite.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Use a large enough pot so the water returns to a boil after adding pasta. Stir during the first minute to prevent sticking.
- Taste one piece a minute before the packet time: it should be cooked through but still have a little bite.
- Reserve some starchy pasta water before draining. Add it by the spoonful to loosen a thick sauce rather than adding lots of extra oil.
