Ingredients (serves 2)

  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 3 Tbsp shredded ginger
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, halved lengthways

  • 1,5 star anise

Directions

  • Place the stock, ginger, lemongrass, soy sauce and star anise in a deep pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce it to simmer and leave it for 5 min.
  • Add the tofu and poach for 3 minutes each side, remove from the pan. 
  • Add the udon noodles and snap peas to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Dress your bowl, placing the noodles and halved peas and adding the sliced poached tofu.
  • Finish with the poaching liquid and sprinkle some black sesame seeds
