  • 2 tsp Maple Syrup

  • 2 tsp Corn Flour

Instructions
 

Tofu & marinade

  • Squeeze any excess liquid from the tofu. You can press it between two plates weighted down for 10 minutes to get a firmer tofu if needed
  • Cut the tofu into cubes and place in a bowl
  • Add the marinade ingredients and coat the tofu. I used my hands to ensure good coverage
  • Leave the tofu to marinate for at least 10 minutes
  • Coat the tofu in the corn flour. Use your hands to make sure that every cube has been evenly coated
  • Put the tofu in an air fryer at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes
  • Alternatively, shallow fry the tofu until crispy

Sticky Sauce

  • Add all of the ingredients into a jar and shake well. Alternatively, you can put the ingredients straight into the saucepan and use a whisk.
  • Over a low heat, stir the sauce until it thickens.

Putting it all together

  • Finely chop the red chilli
  • Chop and prepare the vegetables
  • Over a medium to high heat, add the olive oil to a wok or similar frying pan
  • Add the chilli, ginger and garlic and fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir continuously to stop sticking
  • Add the vegetables and fry for 2 minutes
  • Add the tofu and half of the sauce. Stir well, coating everything in the pan
  • Add the noodles and the rest of the sauce
  • Stir well and cook for as long as the noodles need
  • Serve and enjoy!
