What to do
-
-
Chop tofu into 1 ½ cm (¼ in) cubes.
-
Place the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the tofu and mix together until the tofu is coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
-
Shred the cabbage and thinly slice the capsicums.
-
Bring a pot of water to the boil and cook the noodles until tender. Drain the noodles, then rinse under cold water. Set aside.
-
Drain the marinade from the tofu but reserve the marinade for use later.
-
Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook for about 4–6 minutes until browned and heated through. Remove from the heat.
-
Place the noodles, tofu and all the veggies and herbs on a large serving plate. Cover with the reserved marinade and toss to coat.
-
Top with peanuts. Serve while the tofu is still warm.
