Ingredients

  • 2 cups bite-sized cubed tofu
  • 1 tsp light cooking oil
  • 1 large mango sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large cucumber sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large carrot sliced into thin strips
  • 3 cups cooked noodles of your choice cooked according to package instructions and drained
  • a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • fresh lime wedges for garnish

For the Peanut Sauce

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for a minute or two, stirring occasionally until the peanut butter softens and blends well with the water. Whisk to remove any lumps. Set aside.
  • Mix the tofu pieces with the oil and air-fry for 2-3 minutes on high until the edges start to crisp up.
  • In a large bowl add in the air-fried tofu, mangoes, cucumbers, carrots and noodles. Slowly stir in the peanut sauce and mix well to coat.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges and serve.

Notes

I love to serve this alongside some Ginger-Chilli Shrimp for a hearty dinner.
