  INGREDIENTS
 
2 T sunflower or peanut oil
1 T crushed garlic
2 t crushed ginger
120 g shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
½ t crushed chilli
2 T soya sauce
2 t demerara sugar
1 x 400 g box firm tofu, cut into chunks
1 x 180 g packet tatsoi or bok choy leaves
400 g fresh Chinese noodles, cooked
2 - 4 cups vegetable stock
100 g packet Tenderstem broccoli, sliced in half on the diagonal
 
  COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
 

Gently warm the oil with the garlic and ginger in a suitably-sized saucepan. Add the mushroom and stir around for a minute or two, or until barely cooked. Pour in the stock.

Add the chilli, soya sauce and sugar and bring to a bubble. Add the broccoli and cook for a few minutes until tender-crisp. Add the tofu and half the Asian leaves and cook until the leaves wilt.

Add the noodles and heat. Stir in the last of the leaves. Check seasoning – add more soya sauce, sugar or even chilli, if needed.

Leftovers? Reheat and freshen up with some chopped fresh coriander leaves and a handful of sprouts.
