Prep Time: 6 minutes
Cooking Time: 24 minutes
Serves: 2

Method

1. Wrap the tofu in a clean tea towel and press well to remove the excess moisture (this is much easier if it has been frozen and then defrosted first). Cut it into cubes and coat it with soy sauce, salt, pepper, and dried chillies then set aside
2. Boil the edamame for 10 minutes or until soft enough to eat
3. Boil the soba noodles according to the instructions on the packet
4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil into a frying pan and shallow fry the tofu, turning regularly so all sides brown
5. Meanwhile, add some more oil to a wok or large frying pan and add the onions and chillies (if you don’t have separate pans, then precook the tofu until crisp then set to one side)
6. Once the onions and chillies have started to brown, add the garlic, ginger, and all spice, then the carrot, pepper, and greens. Also add a generous dash of soy sauce, the yeast extract, and maple syrup
7. If required, add a couple of tablespoons of water to prevent the pan from drying out and burning the dish
8. After the veg has started to soften, add the noodles, edamame, and tofu. Mix well and ensure that all items are heated
9. Season to taste and garnish with spring onions
