Instructions
Add the tofu to a pan on medium heat with soy sauce and olive oil, cook for 4-5 minutes until brown on both sides. Next, toss in the onions and garlic, season with salt, paprika and pepper and mix gently.
Next, add the chestnuts, mushrooms, scallions, broccoli, sweet chilli and courgette and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add half of the coconut milk and mix through the vegetables.
Add the noodles to a pot of boiling water and cook for 8-12 minutes.
For the satay: Mix the lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, curry powder and peanut butter in a small bowl. Add a splash of water if it’s too stiff. Transfer to a small pan and add the other half of the coconut milk, and heat gently for 5 minutes stirring continually, until combined.
Once the satay is a nice smooth consistency remove from the heat.
You have 2 serving options. 1. add all the ingredients together, including the noodles, and mix with the satay sauce.2. Layer the noodles, then the vegetables and pour the satay sauce on top. Your call. My preference is to mix the noodles with the vegetables first and then combine with the satay so it’s all nicely flavoured.
Springle the cashew nuts on top and serve.
