Mie noodle stir fry: Ingredients.

For 1 serving
Preparation time: 20 minutes 

80 g mie noodles
1 block of tofu (approx. 150 g)
3 tsp oil
2 tsp BBQ spice mix
1 yellow pepper
1 carrot
3 spring onions
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
4 tbsp vegetable stock
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch of coriander (alternatively 1 tbsp frozen herbs)

Method:

It's easiest if you watch the video first. And here are the instructions:

Bring water to the boil. Then place the mie noodles in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them (use plenty of water as the noodles swell up). Leave to soften for 5 minutes. In the meantime, pat the tofu dry, dice and marinate it with 1 tsp oil and the BBQ spice. Clean and wash the pepper, carrot and spring onions. Peel the carrot and deseed the pepper. Cut all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan and briefly sear the tofu. Move the tofu to the edge of the pan or remove it from the pan. Pour the remaining oil into the middle of the frying pan and fry the vegetables for 2 minutes. Drain the noodles and add them to the vegetables in the pan. Mix together the noodles, vegetables and tofu. Now add the soy sauce, honey and vegetable stock and season everything with salt and pepper. Continue to stir fry for 2 minutes. Finally, pick the coriander leaves from the stalks and sprinkle over the dish.

Heat the pan and sear the marinated meat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp oil and fry the onions and courgettes together for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and halve the tomatoes. Make up 75 ml of vegetable stock (using the water/powder proportions indicated on the package). Then put 1 tbsp of tomato purée into a cup/mug/bowl and stir in the vegetable stock until smooth. Add the tomato sauce and halved cherry tomatoes to the fricassée and season well with salt and pepper. Heat through for 2-3 minutes. Wash the parsley, shake dry and chop the leaves and stems. Sprinkle the parsley over the fricassée and serve with the rice.
