Viral Creamy Mapo Tofu Udon (30g protein!)

Name: Viral Creamy Mapo Tofu Udon (30g protein!)
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup Tvp mince; 1 tbsp Sesame oil; 4 cloves Garlic; 1 tbsp Fresh ginger; 2 Spring onions; 2 tbsp Doubanjiang; 1 tbsp Light soy sauce; 1 tbsp Rice wine; 300 g Silken tofu; 0.5 tbsp White miso paste; 2 portions Udon noodles

This creamy mapo tofu udon is a genius take on the traditional dish, and it's definitely a viral trend that's worth making! Instead of serving mapo tofu over rice, the silken tofu is blended to create a rich, savoury coating that clings to the udon. It’s quick, comforting and packs an umami punch, and a bit of a chilli kick too (but you can tone that up or down!). And if you're counting macros, 30g protein per portion is pretty good!

Notes

- TVP works brilliantly here and keeps the dish light and affordable, but any shop-bought vegan mince will work.

- The blended silken tofu should be pourable and smooth. We have been asked if firm tofu could work, we haven't tried it, so couldn't say but it is likely to be feel grainier and may need water added. The recommendation is silken tofu here, so that it goes nice and smooth.

- This is gently spicy rather than fiery. For more heat, add chilli oil at the end.

- Try serving with wok fried greens like pak choi, broccoli or sugar snap peas.

- Best eaten fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
