Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute ramen noodles, udon noodles, or egg noodles for thick rice noodles; chilli oil, chilli flakes or the book's "Rayu" for the book's "Everything oil"; kale, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts for broccoli; peanut butter for tahini; and neutral oil of your choice for vegetable oil.

    Needed the chilli oil, didn't love the tahini sauce. Nice and easy dinner.

    Roasted the broccoli with tofu. Added seasoned rice wine vinegar and 5 spice powder to the sauce for needed flavour. Added chile crisp instead of everything oil.

    This needed some flavour boosters. I added some seasoned rice wine vinegar and 5 spice powder to the sauce. I roasted the broccoli and threw in some tofu.

    Excellent! Used broccolini that I char-grilled. Very excellent.

    While the kids did not particularly like the tahini in the sauce, we adults found this to be an excellent midweek dinner. Quick to make, needs the everything oil on top!

    A very nice, easy recipe (if you have the 'everything oil' made). Who would have thought that just noodles and broccoli could be so good? We roasted the broccoli rather than pan-frying, and used Trader Joe's pre-cooked "Thai wheat noodles" and those variations worked well.
