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 2cm cubes. Quarter the lime. Cut the carrots into thin matchsticks (peel optional). Finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Peel the courgette into ribbons.
  2. Heat a large frying pan with half the sesame oil on medium heat. Add the tofu and cook for 5 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Lightly season with a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Bring a medium 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. Add the carrots to the tofu pan and cook for 3-5 mins, until softening. Stir in the courgette ribbons and season with sea salt. Remove from the heat.
  5. Make the dressing; in a small bowl, mix the miso, juice from 2 lime wedges, maple syrup and the remaining sesame oil. Add the chilli (to taste), dressing and cooked noodles to the tofu pan. Roughly tear in the mint leaves and toss to combine.
  6. Serve the tofu noodles with the remaining lime wedges (to taste).
