We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes to soak and using a fork or chopsticks to separate the noodles and then drain well.

  • Step 2: Meanwhile, combine the black bean sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and honey in a bowl and set aside.

  • Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat and add the onion and stir-fry for 1 minute and then add the broccolini, celery and garlic and stir-fry for a further 3-4 minutes or until tender-crisp and then transfer to a bowl and set aside.

  • Step 4: Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the wok and add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes or until heated through – the tofu will break up slightly but that’s okay.

  • Step 5: Add the noodles, sauce mixture and vegetables to the wok and use 2 wooden spoons to toss to combine and then divide among serving bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chilli.
