15-minute satay tofu noodles

There won’t be any complaints with this healthy “fakeaway” dish

Vegetarian
Dairy free
A white bowl filled with satay tofu, noodles and stir-fried vegetables

Method

  1. To make the satay sauce, combine all ingredients and ¼ cup (60ml) water in a bowl.
  2. Prepare the noodles following packet instructions.
  3. Meanwhile, lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan or wok with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu for 1–2 minutes each side, until light golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  4. Add the vegetable mix to the same pan and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until tender and crisp. Add the satay sauce and noodles and toss until combined. Add the reserved tofu and shallots and toss to combine.
  5. Divide the noodle stir-fry among serving bowls and sprinkle with peanuts. Serve.

Variations

Swap tofu for sliced chicken breast, if preferred.

Cooking tip

You can also use fresh egg or rice noodles from the fridge section in the supermarket.

Money-saving tip

Use a frozen vegetable stir-fry mix instead of fresh.

Storage tip

TO REFRIGERATE: Store stir-fry in a reusable container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through to serve.

Nutrition tip

Peanuts are a nutrition powerhouse packed with vitamins and minerals that support overall good health. Regularly eating peanuts has been shown to help lower your cancer risk. When selecting peanut butter, buy one that’s 100 per cent peanuts, with no added sugar or salt.

Serving tip

For more crunch, sprinkle with extra chopped peanuts before serving.
