Ingredients

• 100 g glass noodles
• 200 g tofu
• 1 carrot
• 100 g mushrooms
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 pepper
• 1 bunch of spring onions
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 dash of chilli flakes

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · wok · chopping board · knife · sieve

1. Press the tofu well, cut it into cubes and marinate briefly with a little soy sauce. Soak the glass noodles in hot water, drain and cut them a little shorter if needed.
2. Cut the carrot, pepper and mushrooms into thin strips. Finely chop the garlic and slice the spring onions into rings.
3. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan and fry the tofu until golden brown all over. Then add the vegetables and garlic and stir-fry briefly over a high heat so everything stays tender-crisp.
4. Add the glass noodles to the pan and mix with the rest of the soy sauce. Toss everything well until the noodles have soaked up the sauce and are evenly seasoned.
5. Season to taste with chilli flakes and fold in the spring onions. Let everything get hot briefly and take it straight off the heat.
6. Serve immediately in deep bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.
