Tofu
  • 200 g firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Red Curry Noodle Soup
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic and ginger paste
  • 400 ml vegetable stock
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 2 dried red chillies
  • 2 lemongrass sticks
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves
  • 300 g udon noodles

  • 20 g chopped cilantro to garnish

Method

  1. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with clean paper towels, gently squeezing it to remove any excess moisture. Slice into thin slices.
    200 g firm tofu
  2. Mix the remaining marinade ingredients and pour over the tofu in a container, and marinate for 30 minutes.
    2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, ½ lime, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoon cornflour, 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the garlic, ginger paste, and red curry paste. Fry in the oil, stirring frequently, for a couple of minutes until the pastes are fragrant.
    1 tablespoon neutral oil, 2 tablespoon red curry paste, 1 tablespoon garlic and ginger paste
  4. Add the vegetable stock and coconut milk and stir together, then stir in the dried chillies, lemongrass sticks, lime leaves, salt, and lime juice. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the broth is thick and creamy.

  5. Meanwhile, cook the marinated tofu either by frying on each side for 2-3 minutes, then pour over the remaining marinade. Alternatively, bake the tofu in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 °C. Slice the tofu diagonally into thin strips when cooked.
  6. Add the udon noodles to the red curry soup and simmer for 5 minutes (or until cooked through according to package instructions).
