Cooking Steps

Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Peel and finely grate the ginger until you have 2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people. Tip: You can peel the ginger using a teaspoon. Slice the cucumber into 0.5 cm half-moons. Finely slice the long red chilli (if using).

Add the ramen noodles (use suggested amount) to the boiling water and cook for 4 minutes, or until soft. Drain, refresh under cold water, return to the saucepan and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

While the noodles are cooking, combine the ginger, tahini, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, water (check ingredients list for the amount) and sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Slice the Japanese tofu into 1 cm cubes and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until browned and warmed through.
