Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Finely chop garlic. Pat firm tofu (see ingredients) dry with paper towel, then cut into 1cm cubes. • In a medium bowl, combine tofu, Southeast Asian spice blend and the plain flour.
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Cook udon noodles over medium-high heat until tender, 3-4 minutes. • In the last minute of cook time, gently stir noodles with a fork to separate. Drain, rinse and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook tofu, tossing occasionally, until golden 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook Asian stir-fry mix, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add Asian stir-fry sauce, chilli jam, the soy sauce, sesame oil, the water and noodles. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
