Such a good idea and the five spice tofu was delicious - but as others have said, the tahini/chilli oil quantities are wayyyy too much - the first time I made the broth it was so claggy and pretty gross! Cut by at least half and whisk to get everything to properly emulsify.

Hi Alice! Glad to hear that it was better this time.
We re-tested this recipe to make sure it was up to standards. We've made edits in the method so that the sauce is customisable to suit different people. Like always, it's very ingredient dependent- we used lao gan ma crispy chilli oil and Al Nakhil tahini which are not as spicy as some other crispy chilli oils, and the tahini is mellow, creamy and not bitter.

Would half the chilli and tahini as others have said. Could do with something fresh in there too. But delicious and will be workshopping it!

Yum!! very salty but love salt so not fussed! don't really like chives so used coriander instead for a kick of freshness. Used pre-chopped/spiced tofu by Tofoo brand and crisped up really nicely in a pan. I also added a soy marinated egg for a bit of extra creaminess 😋 will make again as super easy!

Way too much tahini - pretty claggy sadly when it could’ve been so good!

I read the comments but the soup was too watery and thin, and actually think the recipe is great for tahini and chili oil quantities. I used a pale thin Lebanese tahini and the tonkotsu chilli oil - yum

Tweaked the recipe for 2 people based on the comments and what I have available at home: added 1 tbs of tahini per bowl, used only 1 aubergine and boiled broccoli (boiled with soba noodles), mixed smoked tofu with smoked tempeh, cut down on the chilli oil (1tsp). Flavours were good, would make again but with adjustments. I like the idea of the quick tahini broth!

Really tasty! I made it to spec the first time and then tried it with half the tahini and the chilli oil, which was more to my taste. Also swapped the tofu out for halloumi and added coriander. Great comfort meal.

Very rich & tasty, might reduce the tahini quantity next time for my taste.

The amount of tahini was very bitter without anything to zing it up. Lovely toppings though.

It was delicious, rich and creamy but 3 tbsp chilli oil per person??? I like chilli but that's full on! Cut it to 1 tbsp, with the option to add more if needed.

I'd recommend cutting the amount of tahini and chilli oil by at least half, unfortunately was very rich & felt much too oily. Flavour combo definitely would be delicious in smaller amounts!

Delicious but very salty. The amount of tahini and crispy chilli oil is pretty full on. Some great elements but a bit much all together. And 1300kcal a serving...

Oh wow. This dish is like a warm hug. Don’t like aubergine? Yes, you do - these are fudgy, sticky, with no mushiness in sight. The soup itself is rich and bursting with flavour, it’s such a treat to just sit and slurp the dregs once all the noodles are gone. A real hit, even with my passionately meat-eating friends
