Method
-
Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan and place into a bowl along with the Tougarashi spices.
-
In the same frying pan heat the vegetable oil. If you have the TempControl setting on a Miele Induction Hob, use setting 1. Fry the tofu until golden brown. Or, you can use a Miele Combination Steam Oven to grill the tofu. Use grill level 3 and 60% moisture for around 10 minutes.
-
Once cooked, transfer the tofu into the bowl with the sesame seeds and spices and coat well.
-
Place the sugar snap peas and green beans onto a perforated steam tray.
-
Put the rice noodles in a solid steam container, cover with 500ml of boiling water and put both trays into a Miele Steam Oven. Cook for 2 minutes at 100°C.
-
Once cooked, place the beans and sugar snaps into a bowl of iced water and drain the water from the noodles.
-
To make the dressing, mix all of the ingredients together and check for seasoning.
- To assemble the salad, pour half of the dressing over the noodles to coat. Add all of the vegetables to the noodles and gently mix. Transfer to a serving bowl and arrange the tofu over the top of salad along with the remaining dressing.
