I like tofu now and then -- I guess 1/2-inch cubes would use about one third of

a block of tofu

 

the peppers -- i'd use " red bells "

YASAI CHILLI MEN (Japanese) ~ A vegetarian version with stir-fried courgettes,

mushrooms, carrots, snow peas, tomatoes and fried tofu in a chilli sauce. Served

with wholemeal noodles. Sauce (yasai chilli); noodles (men)

 

1. Start by making the sauce. Blend the peppers, lemongrass, ginger, onion,

chillies and garlic together in a blender until smooth. Place in a fine sieve

over a bowl to let the excess water drain off.

 

2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and add the blended mixture. Then add the

sugar, chilli and garlic sauce, soy sauce and ketchup. Season to taste. Fry very

gently for 30-40 minutes until the mixture thickens and the oil turns red.

 

3. Next, heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok and fry the carrots over a low heat

for 2-3 minutes. Turn up the heat, add the mangetout, mushrooms and tofu, and

cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the blended sauce, courgettes and tomatoes,

and simmer gently while you cook the noodles.

 

4. If using fresh noodles, gently ease them apart before placing in a large pan

of boiling salted water. Bring back to the boil and cook for 45 seconds,

stirring constantly. For dried noodles, cook according to packet instructions.

 

5. To serve: Drain the noodles and divide among 4 bowls. Pour the sauce over,

garnishing with the chopped spring onions.
