We have teamed up with chef Tom Jones to help families continue the health habits they’ve kickstarted this year.
Home cooking has become the norm while restaurants remain closed so Harron and Tom Jones are helping combat cooking fatigue with a vegan recipe tutorial to provide some fresh inspiration.

Method
- Add vegetable stock to the pan with the chilli, garlic, spring onions, star anise and all the dried spices. Let it simmer to infuse the flavours.
- Heat sesame oil in a separate pan and add the onions, carrots and peppers. Cook until they have softened.
- Add coriander to the broth and continue to simmer.
- Season the vegetables with a good pinch of salt.
- Add the mangetout to the vegetables which should be sizzling by now.
- Heat a pan and add the tofu and the chilli sauce. Keep coating the tofu in the chilli sauce until soft and squidgy. Finish with the sesame seeds.
- Take the broth off the stove and add the coconut milk.
- Put the noodles in a serving bowl and add the spring greens and spinach. Add the softened peppers, onions and carrots.
- Strain the broth with a sieve over the bowl covering the noodles. Stir. The heat from the broth will cook the noodles.
- Add the tofu. To garnish, add a squeeze of lime, chopped coriander and spring onions.
