Ingredients
270g soba noodles
3 teaspoons sesame oil
600g firm tofu, cut into 2cm pieces
100g white cup mushrooms, sliced
100g oyster mushrooms, halved
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed
250g green beans, trimmed, halved

2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
2 teaspoons salt-reduced soy sauce
½ cup coriander leaves
1 long red chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
¼ cup (40g) unsalted cashews, chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
Method
Step 1
Cook the noodles in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until just tender. Drain well.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a wok or large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 3
Add the remaining oil to the wok or pan with the combined mushroom, ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the mushroom is light golden.
Step 4
Return the tofu to the pan with the beans, spring onion, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until the beans are just tender.
Step 5
Divide the noodles and tofu mixture among bowls. Top with coriander, chilli, if using, cashew and sesame seeds.
