Kale and Soba Noodles with Ginger-Chilli Sauce

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes
 
350g/12oz dried soba noodles
1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
200g/7oz smoked tofu, cut into cubes
3 carrots, cut into matchstick strips
1 large red onion, sliced
200g/7oz button mushrooms, sliced
50g/1¾oz red cabbage, thinly sliced
80g/2¾oz kale, sliced
 
For the Ginger-Chilli Sauce:
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari soy sauce
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2cm/¾in piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp chilli paste
1 tsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
 

1. Put all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and add 125ml/4fl oz/½ cup water. Whisk well to combine thoroughly, then leave to one side to allow the flavours to develop.

2. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over a high heat, and cook the soba noodles for 4–5 minutes, or according to the pack instructions, until soft. Drain in a colander and leave to one side.

3. Heat the oil in a large wok or non-stick saucepan over a high heat. Fry the tofu for 5 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides. Add the carrots, onion and mushrooms, and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until warmed through. Add the cabbage and kale, and cook for 2 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Pour the sauce mixture over the top and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the soba noodles and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, or until thoroughly heated through. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
