Ingredients

  • 250g flat rice noodles 

  • 300g firm tofu drained, patted dry and cut into cubes

  • 10 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced

  • 6 spring onions halved and thinly sliced

  • 2 limes, 1 juiced, 1 cut into wedges

  • 1 tbsp tamarind paste 

  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce, plus extra for serving

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 300g beansprouts

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • Handful coriander leaves

Method

1

Cook the noodles as suggested by the manufacturer. Mix the lime juice, tamarind and sweet chili sauce together in a small bowl and set to one side.

2

Heat some vegetable oil in a non-stick wok and fry the tofu for 7 minutes, stirring often until golden on all sides. Set this to one side.

3

Add more oil to the pan and cook the asparagus in it until it softens. Then throw in the spring onions, beansprouts and garlic, cooking for a few minutes more. Add the drained noodles, sauce mixture and a pinch of salt.

4

Mix in the tofu and heat through. Serve with the coriander and lime wedges.
