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

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium saucepan, a small bowl, a measuring jug & a sieve

Fry the tofu

  • Drain the tofu, pat dry with a paper towel and cut into 2cm cubes
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside

Make the pickled radishes

  • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the radishes
  • Add to the small bowl, along with the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Mix and leave to pickle

Time to noodle

  • Bring the medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles, gently separate with a fork, and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
  • Trim the broccoli and cut into thirds. Cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces

Build the dish

  • Reheat the frying pan with the sesame oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli and cook for 4-5 mins, until softening. Add the pak choi and ginger & garlic paste and cook for 1 min more
  • Add the teriyaki, Asian paste and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person) to the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce has reduced slightly

Last bits & plate up

  • Add the cooked noodles and tofu to the veg pan. Toss to coat in the sauce and cook for 1 min, until hot
  • Share the tofu noodles between bowls. Top with the pickled radish and scatter over the sesame seeds to finish
