Directions

Prep Time 20 mins Cook Time 20 mins

1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add broccolini & sugar snaps, cook for 1 min, until bright green. Transfer to a large bowl of ice water to refresh. Once cooled, drain in a colander.
2. Pour enough oil into a medium frying pan to fill 1 cm deep. Heat over medium-high heat, until hot enough for a piece of tofu to golden brown in 20-30 secs. Fry tofu in batches, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
3. Miso dressing: whisk all the dressing ingredients in a bowl.
4. Prepare udon as per pack instructions.
5. Drain the pear from the water & place it into a large mixing bowl. Add the udon, broccolini,
sugar snaps, fried tofu & chives.
6. Mix through the miso dressing & serve on a large platter or in a large bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds & togarashi, if desired.
