Moi Moi Sauce Glazed Tofu with Stir-Fried Noodles

Exploring Me Me Sauce: A Flavorful Twist on Tofu

Serves: 2
Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the tofu:

• 300g firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
• 1 tbsp cornflour
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 150ml Moi Moi Sauce Original

For the noodles:

• 200g egg noodles
• 1 carrot, julienned
• ½ red pepper, sliced
• 2 spring onions, chopped
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp sesame oil

To serve:

• Fresh coriander (optional)
• Lime wedge (optional)

Method

1. Crisp the tofu. Toss the tofu cubes in cornflour until evenly coated. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick pan and fry the tofu on all sides until golden and crisp.
   
   
2. Glaze the tofu. Reduce the heat to low, add Moi Moi Sauce, and toss gently to coat the tofu. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until sticky and glossy.
   
   
3. Cook the noodles. Boil the noodles according to packet instructions, then drain. In another pan, stir-fry the carrot, pepper, and spring onions for 2–3 minutes. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and the noodles, tossing everything together until hot and well combined.
   
   
4. Serve. Divide the noodles between bowls and top with the glazed tofu. Garnish with coriander and a squeeze of lime if you like.

Chef’s Tip

For a crispier texture, let the tofu sit untouched in the hot pan for a minute after adding the glaze - it caramelises slightly, giving that chewy, restaurant-style finish.

Preparation of Moi Moi Sauce Glazed Tofu

To prepare tofu glazed with Moi Moi Sauce, start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cube it and marinate in a mixture of Me Me Sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. After marinating, pan-fry the tofu pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. This cooking technique ensures that the tofu maintains its structure while allowing the sauce to caramelize beautifully. The result is a flavorful dish that showcases the versatility of tofu and the deliciousness of Me Me Sauce.

Stir-Fried Noodles: A Perfect Companion

Stir-fried noodles provide an excellent base for your Moi Moi Sauce glazed tofu. Choose your favorite type—egg noodles, rice noodles, or whole grain—to suit your dietary preferences. Begin by stir-frying a mix of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas for added texture and nutrition. Toss in the cooked noodles and a splash of Me Me Sauce to tie the flavors together. The harmony of the glazed tofu and the stir-fried noodles creates a delicious and satisfying meal that is both simple to prepare and bursting with flavor.
