Vietnamese-Style Tofu & Vegetable Pho
A single portion of Vietnamese cooking, ready in 24 minutes with 9 minutes of prep. Vegan, and written for one, so there is nothing to halve.

Simmer the vegetable stock with the star anise, cinnamon stick, ginger and garlic for 8–10 minutes to infuse, then stir in the soy sauce.

Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions and drain.

Pan-fry the tofu cubes in a little oil for 4–5 minutes until golden on the outside.
