- 6 oz / 180 g fresh chow mein noodles
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 2 cups shredded Chinese cabbage
- 1/2 cup carrot , julienned
- 2 scallion/shallot stems , cut into 2″/4cm pieces

Tofu and marinade
- 5 oz / 150 g firm tofu , sliced

- Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in wok over high heat, add garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds.
- Add tofu and stir fry until starting to caramelise – about 1 minute. Stir fry gently so the tofu doesn’t break.
- Add the cabbage and carrot and stir fry until the cabbage starts to wilt.
- Add the noodles, scallions/shallots, bean sprouts and sauce and stir fry until the noodles are warmed through and sauce evenly coats the noodles – about 1 minute. Don’t cook it too much – the bean sprouts should still be quite crisp, not wilted.
