Ingredients
 

Ingredients:

  • 4 portions of rice noodles
  • 1½ blocks of firm tofu (600g)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 large kale leaves
  • ¼ small red cabbage
  • Large carrot
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (35g)

Orange & ginger dressing:

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 2 oranges
  • Thumb size piece of fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • A few grinds of black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C or 350F.
  • Pat dry the tofu and cut into cubes. Toss in 2 tsp of olive oil and the garlic powder and season well with salt and pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly brown, turning halfway through.
  • Whilst the tofu is cooking, soak the noodles in hot water for 4 mins to rehydrate. Drain well and add to a large serving bowl.
  • Remove the stalk from the kale and finely chop. Chop the red cabbage and carrot into small bite- sized pieces. Add them to the serving bowl.
  • Add all the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
  • Once the tofu is ready, add to the serving bowl with the noodles and veggies. Pour over the dressing and mix well. Top with the chopped nuts.

Notes

  • This will store in the fridge for about 3-4 days and is great for lunch meal prep.
  • The nutritional information is based up the recipe serving 4 – but it could stretch to 6, depending on appetites.
  • I’ve used seasonal winter vegetables for this recipe. It will work equally well in the summer months with summer veggies.
