This sweet chilli tofu stir fry is simple to make and packed with flavour, it's my new favourite! The good thing about tofu is that it doesn't take much effort to turn an otherwise bland ingredient into something amazing. The cornflour coating gives the tofu its incredible crispy texture.

Slice the tofu and set aside. Combine the cornflour, cayenne pepper and salt in a bowl and mix together. Coat the tofu pieces with the mixture and shallow fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Set aside.
In a large pan, fry the vegetables in a little oil with a Tbsp soy sauce for 2-3 minutes. Add the noodles and fry for a further minute. Add the sweet chilli sauce, sugar, vinegar and the rest of the soy sauce and mix together well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened.
Toss the tofu pieces in the pan for a few seconds and serve immediately. Sprinkle some sliced spring onions and red chilli flakes over the top.
This Massaman curry is made with coconut milk as is tradition, with peanut butter to add to the creaminess. It's so moreish it's difficult not to serve yourself a meal for 2 for 1! There's nothing complicated about this recipe; most if it is just combining everything together in a pot.
I've used sweet potato, aubergine, green beans from the garden and button mushrooms, but the choice of veg is up to you! Broccoli goes very well with this recipe if you want to sub the green beans.
