Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 1 cm cubes. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 5-6 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Peel the carrots into ribbons. Slice the ribbons into long, thin strips (or use a julienne peeler or spiralizer if you have one) and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Zest then halve the lime. Add the sugar snaps, tamari, lime zest and half the maple syrup to the tofu pan. Cook for 1 min, until a glaze forms. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
  4. Finely slice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Roughly chop the peanuts. Make the sesame dressing; in a small bowl combine the sesame oil, vinegar, remaining maple syrup, miso, juice from half the lime, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the carrot bowl along with half the sesame dressing. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix to combine.
  6. Serve the sesame noodles topped with tofu and sugar snaps. Garnish with golden kimchi, chilli (to taste), peanuts and lime as wedges. Pour over the remaining sesame dressing.
