Noodles with tofu, vegetables and soy sauce

Ingredients

• noodles: about 72 g dry (about 180 g cooked)
• tofu: 120 g
• vegetables: 200 g
• sauce: 25 g
• olive oil: 5 g

Instructions

1. Press the tofu under a weight for 10 minutes, cut it into batons and pat them dry — otherwise it stews instead of frying.
2. Separate the cooked noodles by hand and trickle a little oil over them: noodles stuck together fall apart while you are pulling them apart in the hot pan.
3. Fry the tofu over high heat for 5 minutes, until the sides are browned, and lift it out. Then the vegetables — 3 minutes, heat still high.
4. Return the tofu, add the noodles and toss for 2 minutes: they should heat through and catch a little colour in places.
5. Pour the sauce down the side of the pan, not into the middle. On hot metal it caramelises instantly and spreads through the dish; poured into the centre it just boils the noodles.
