  7. Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add coconut oil. Fry pressed tofu, turning, until crisp and browned on all sides (approx. 5-6 minutes). Add tofu to noodles and vegetables and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fried shallots, then serve with lime wedges.

Tip

Tofu is often packaged in water and it is best to press it before cooking to achieve a better result. To press tofu, use a tofu press or line a plate with paper towels. Place tofu block on the paper towels and cover with another layer of paper towel. Place a plate or a cutting board on top of the paper towels, then place heavy weights (books or cans) on top. Set aside for several hours until liquid has been pressed out.

We recommend using organic tofu whenever possible.

If you prefer to steam your tofu rather than fry it, place into Varoma with bok choy and proceed as per recipe.

You can replace the tofu with chickpea tofu, if desired.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
