Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    For the sauce, whisk the soy sauce, sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Cut the tofu into 2 cm cubes and pat dry. Finely chop the garlic, cut the green onions into 3 cm lengths and roughly crush the peanuts.

  3. 3

    Heat half the oil in a wok or large pan over high heat and fry the tofu for 4-5 minutes until golden on all sides; set aside.

  4. 4

    In the remaining oil, stir-fry the garlic for 30 seconds, add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes until pink.

  5. 5

    Push the shrimp to one side, crack in the eggs and scramble for 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked noodles and the sauce, return the tofu and toss over high heat for 2-3 minutes until the noodles absorb the sauce.

  7. 7

    Add the green onions and toss for 30 seconds more. Plate and sprinkle with the crushed peanuts.
