Easy Steps
01In a large wok, dry roast the besan until it turns golden orangey, stirring constantly, being careful not to burn it! Set aside and sauté the onion and garlic, add the chilli paste.
02Next add the stock and coconut milk, soy sauce, salt and chilli.
03Whisk the besan into a cup of water, then whisk into the wok until the soup thickens a bit, breaking any lumps that may form.
04Add sesame oil. Add the coconut sugar and lemon juice, to give the soup a bit of zing.

For the chicken, sautee the ginger garlic paste first in oil, then add everything else. Quickly add and sauté the chicken until it is cooked through on a medium flame.
06For tofu, drain excess water, then place large slices of tofu in a single layer in a tray lined with paper towels. Place a heavy weight on top for at least 30 mins. This will make the tofu springy and firm. Cut into cubes. Mix the soya sauce and oil into the tofu.
07Then toss lightly in the seasoned flour. Bake in a lined tray at 180 degrees for 20-30 mins, turning it over halfway.
08Take a bowl, first add the noodles, then the soup and toppings. Serve hot.
