Simple but tasty stirfry

You will need
1 large block of tofu
1large onion
3 cloves of garlic
inch of ginger
1 red chilli
3 baby bok choi
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp vegetable oil
noodles for two
black pepper
soy sauce

Stir fries are amazing. Tofu on the other hand can sometimes be a bit of a chore to eat. What one needs for an epic tofu stir fry is a REALLY good pan. Non stick, obviously, and very wide so as to give the tofu plenty of space. Cut the tofu and dry it. I like tofu chunks to be approximately the size of the colouredy squares on a Rubic's cube. Finely slice and onion into strips. Finely chop 3 cloves of garlic. Finely chop ginger. Finely de-seed the chili and chop VERY finely.

Heat the pan. Add the vegetable oil and wait till it almost smokes. Then add the tofu chunks. Once one side of the tofu is crispy, turn it. Season it with the pepper and add the onions. Once the second side is crispy add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Cook off untill sort of tender and cooked. Keep an eye on your tofu that all sides get cooked and cripsy but none burn. Add the bok choi for about 30/40 seconds and then add your noodles (depending on the type you mail have to pre-boil) and the sesame oil. At the last moment add the soy sauce. Serve piping hot.

Serves 2-4 depending on how hungry you are
