  • 40.00 ml Japanese Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 40.00 ml tamari
  • 20.00 ml kecap manis (see Notes)
  • 500g firm tofu

Instructions:
  • Boil noodles in a large saucepan for 2 minutes, then add carrot and snow peas for the last minute. Drain and rinse with cold water to refresh.

  • In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Cook tofu in 2 batches for 2 minutes until golden, turning as needed. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil and tofu.
  • - Swipe the pan with a paper towel. - Heat the rest of the oil over medium heat. - Saute the ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. - Stir in the vinegar mixture and the white part of the shallot. - Simmer the mixture for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced. - Plate the noodles, top with tofu, and drizzle with sauce. - Garnish with the remaining shallot.
