Since I’ve been travelling around Asia, I’ve pretty much been living off noodles. In Bangkok I was having at least one pad Thai every day. Now I’m up in the north, I’ve been trying something called Khao Soi. It’s like a curried noodle soup and is amazing! Although this recipe doesn’t exactly replicate what I’ve been eating, it is worth a go!

Serves: 1

Ingredients

Sauce:

• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp miso paste
• 1 tbsp hot sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp liquid sweetener e.g. maple syrup

Noodles:

• 100g noodles
• Spray oil
• 120g firm tofu, diced
• 4 spring onions, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 chilli, chopped
• 2 peppers, sliced
• Toppings (optional): peanuts, sesame seeds, corriander, extra spring onion

Method

1. Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside
2. Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. In the meantime, prepare your vegetables. Once noodles are done, drain and set aside
3. Over a medium-high heat, fry the spring onions, garlic and chilli for 1-2 minutes then add the peppers
4. Fry for a further 3 minutes, stirring regularly, then add the tofu and half of the prepared sauce. Fry until the tofu begins to brown
5. Add the noodles along with the remaining sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and dish up!
