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.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil
  • Boil a kettle
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a jug, a sieve & a grater

Prep & soften the veg

  • Dice the pepper into 2cm squares. Slice the spring onions into 2cm pieces
  • Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces
  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prepped veg to the pan and cook for 3-4 mins, until soft and golden brown

Get your simmer on

  • Dissolve the creamed coconut and the stock powder in the jug with 250ml boiling water (125ml for 1 person). Stir to dissolve and set aside
  • Cut the tempeh into 2cm cubes
  • Add the tempeh to the veg pan and cook for 2 mins, turning occasionally until golden. Season with a pinch of salt
  • Add the ginger & garlic paste, tamari, and curry powder, then cook for another 1 min
  • Then pour in the coconut mixture and simmer for a further 4-5 mins, until the sauce thickens slightly

Time to noodle

  • Add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked
  • Drain, then rinse under cold water

Build the dish

  • Meanwhile, finely chop the coriander. Zest and halve the lime
  • Trim the radishes and slice into half-moons
  • Stir the cooked noodles, lime zest, the juice from half the lime and half the coriander into the sauce
  • Cook for a final minute, adding a splash of water if necessary, so that the sauce coats the noodles

Plate up

  • Serve the tempeh noodles garnished with the radishes, remaining coriander and lime, cut into wedges
