Method
- Grind the roasted peanuts to a rough paste in a pestle and mortar with the chilli flakes, garlic cloves, muscovado sugar and a small handful of chopped coriander stalks.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the cubed extra-firm tofu until golden, then scoop out and drain on kitchen paper. Add the king prawns to the pan. Fry until just pink, then remove and set aside.
- Reduce the heat and fry the shallots until golden, then add the chilli peanut paste and fry for 2-3 minutes. Finely chop the chard, keeping the stalks and leaves separate. Add the stalks to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the flat rice noodles to the pan, then return the tofu and prawns to the pan with the chard leaves.
- Stir-fry to mix and heat through. Season with soy sauce, fish sauce and the lime juice. Serve with extra peanuts sprinkled on top and lime wedges.
