Boil a saucepan of water. Cut the dry tofu into 2 cm cubes. Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat; fry tofu for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden.Cook the noodles
Meanwhile, boil noodles for the packet time, adding carrot for the final minute. Drain. Use 4–6 minute noodles to keep this meal quick.Mix the sauce
Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup and 80 ml warm water until smooth. Add another splash of water if needed to make it pourable.Toss and serve
Reduce the tofu pan to low heat. Add noodles, carrot and sauce; toss for 1 minute until coated and hot. Loosen with water as needed. Divide into two bowls and top with spring onions.
Make it yours.
Add a little heat
Whisk 1 tsp sriracha into the peanut sauce, then adjust to taste.
Swap the noodles
Use rice noodles cooked separately to packet directions. Check soy sauce too if avoiding gluten.
