Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 small head broccoli
  • 1 carrot
  • 90 g edamame beans
  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 1 heaped tsp miso paste
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 thumb-sized piece ginger
  • 1 lime
  • 2 nests vermicelli noodles

Instructions

  • Begin by cutting the broccoli into florets, slicing the red onion and carrot. Crush the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
  • In a wok pan on a medium-high heat add the sesame oil, chopped vegetables, garlic and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Next add the edamame beans, tamari and miso paste. Crumble the block of tofu into the pan and add a glug of water to help loosen the miso paste. Combine well.
  • Meanwhile cover the noodles in boiling water and leave for a few minutes to cook.
  • Once cooked drain the noodles and add to the pan along with the juice from the lime. Combine well and heat through for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in a wok over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave.
To Freeze: This recipe will freeze for up to three months. I recommend freezing it in individual containers to make enjoying it even easier! Thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in a wok or in the microwave.
Tip 1: Be sure to use extra-firm tofu for this recipe as it has less liquid and a better texture for this dish. If you don’t have that, squeeze out any excess water that you can from less-firm tofu before using it.
Tip 2: If you love spicy dishes then you could add in freshly chopped chilli or even chilli flakes to taste.
Tip 3: You can add beef, pork, chicken or prawns into this recipe if you aren’t vegan or vegetarian.
