Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the noodles according to the pack instructions. Drain and reserve a cupful of the cooking water. In a small bowl mix the soy sauce, ginger, lime zest and juice, garlic and coriander stalks with 4 tbsp of the noodle cooking water.
- Heat a large non-stick frying a pan or wok with a splash of oil and cook the tofu for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, turning to coat. Set aside and wipe out the pan.
- Add another splash of oil to the pan along with the frozen edamame beans. Add the soy/ginger/garlic sauce and heat for 1-2 minutes, then add the noodles and toss well to combine. Top with the tofu, sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve with lime wedges and soy sauce.
