Method

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the noodles according to the pack instructions. Drain and reserve a cupful of the cooking water. In a small bowl mix the soy sauce, ginger, lime zest and juice, garlic and coriander stalks with 4 tbsp of the noodle cooking water.
Heat a large non-stick frying a pan or wok with a splash of oil and cook the tofu for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, turning to coat. Set aside and wipe out the pan.
Add another splash of oil to the pan along with the frozen edamame beans. Add the soy/ginger/garlic sauce and heat for 1-2 minutes, then add the noodles and toss well to combine. Top with the tofu, sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve with lime wedges and soy sauce.
