It Couldn’t be easier…

æ      Start by preparing all the vegetables and cutting the tofu into small 1cm cubes

æ      Heat the oil in a wok & add the onions, peppers, carrots & celery, stir fry over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes

æ      Add cashew nuts & fry until golden brown then stir in crushed garlic & ginger

æ      A generous splash of Teriyaki marinade & you are ready to add the tofu

æ      Give everything a vigorous “shake” and allow the marinade to reduce a little

æ      Finally add the “straight to wok” noodles, they will take approx 2 minutes to soften then the dish is ready to serve

æ      Garnish with freshly squeezed lime juice & a sprig of fresh coriander if desired…

                                                     

Healthy Tip…

Tofu is made from soyabeans, water & a binding agent – it is high in protein & calcium. 125gm of tofu contains approx 94 calories. The quality of brands vary greatly but I have found "Natural Green" available from the Asia Market, Dublin is the best… JJJ
