Honey stir-fry with udon noodles, spinach and crispy sesame tofu
Stir-frying is a traditional cooking method in Chinese cuisine. Here, vegetables are flash-fried in a Wok or Frying Pan. This makes it possible to create all kinds of stir-fry dishes.
Here, we’ve chosen a vegetarian version with crispy sesame tofu in the starring role. Alongside our Asian favourites coriander and ginger, it really shines. Together with honey and fresh baby spinach, it creates a vegetarian delicacy of Asian cuisine.
