Method
- Cook the measured dry noodles for their packet time. Cut broccoli into small florets and boil for3–4 minutes until nearly tender; drain. Do not use the dry quantity as a ready-cooked noodle quantity.
- Drain and pat the firm tofu dry. Cut into 2 cm cubes or 1.5 cm slices and cook in the measured oil for 8–10 minutes, turning, until hot through and lightly golden.
- Thinly slice the peppers and other vegetables. Add them to the pan with2 tablespoons water, cover for3–4 minutes and cook until tender with some bite. Stir as needed so they do not catch.
- Add the drained noodles and broccoli. Stir through the measured cooking sauce for its required label time, then fold in the cooked protein. Heat until steaming hot throughout. Add cold yoghurt or mayonnaise dressing only at the table; eat immediately.
