Udon Noodle Stir fry

This recipe is from Alicia's Silverstone Book - The Kind Diet. It's absolutely delicious and I highly recommended. Here's the link to her book: http://astore.amazon.com/ourgre-20/detail/1605296449


   * 1 portion Udon noodles
   * 1 small onion or 2 shallots
   * 1 handful green beans
   * 1 cup(s) of marinated tofu
   * 1 large handful of baby leaf spinach
   * 1 heaped tsp of Sambal Oelek (Indonesian Chilli Sauce)
   * 1 lime (juice of)
   * 1 tsp. of sweet freedom or agave nectar
   * 1 tsp. of white or rice wine vinegar
   * 2 tbsp. of soy sauce or shoyu
   * 1 tbsp. of groundnut oil

Steps

1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil.
2. Make the sauce by combining all the Sambal Oelek, lime juice, sweet freedom (agave), white wine vinegar, soy sauce and oil in a bowl. Whisk or stir thoroughly with a spoon and set aside.
3. Heat a little groundnut oil in a wok or skillet/frying pan. Finely slice the onion or shallots and add to pan. You want them to crisp up a little.
4. Slice the green beans diagonally & into small pieces. Add to pan with a little soy sauce.
5. Toss in the marinated tofu – Alicia uses Cauldron Brand. Stir fry for several minutes. Add a tablespoon or so of the sauce before combining the noodles.
6. Cook the udon noodles in the boiling water for 6-8 minutes, Drain, return to pot and cover.
7. Add the spinach and stir fry for a few short minutes until it begins to wilt. Then add the noodles and mix through before adding the remainder of the sauce. Allow to heat through for about a minute.
8.  Sprinkle some sesame seeds (toasted would be even better!) on top to serve.
