This was something I used to always eat when living in south east Asia

Spicy fresh and meaty and real easily made plant based!

Ingredients:
For the tofu laaab
1 tbsp corn starch
Half a block of extra firm tofu
2 cloves garlic
3 spring onions
1 thumb piece ginger
1/2 cup rice

Juice of 1 lime
Fresh mint and coriander

For the peanut butter noodles
1 pack of packet noodles and the powder and sauce
2 tbsp peanut butter (I used @pipandnut )
1 tbsp chilli crisp

Method:
1. Start by toasting your rice off in a pan until golden brown. Bash it down in a pestle and mortar until it becomes a powder.
2. Crumble your firm tofu in a bowl and coat it in corn starch.
3. Fry off your tofu in some oil and then add in the spring onions, garlic, ginger and fry for a few minutes.
4. Add in the lemongrass and chilli sauce cook for a few more minutes then turn off the heat and add the lime juice, crushed rice kernels and mint and coriander and toss to coat.
5. Cook your noodles to packet instructions and then add them to a bowl with some of the noodle broth, add in the peanut butter and keep stirring and adding more broth till you’ve got the perfect sauce consistency.
6. Plate up your noodles, top with the tofu laab and some chilli crisp and more spring onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
