Here’s a recipe to enjoy without worrying about FODMAPs on the evening before a FODMAP Challenge.

Tip: Stir-fries are a great pre-challenge meal as you can mix and match with many different vegetables and ingredients. We’ve included a few low FODMAP options below but some other ingredients you can use are water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, pumpkin, kale, or a handful of peanuts.

Method

Dust the tofu cubes with cornflour and a sprinkle of salt.

Heat a pan on over a high heat before adding the garlic-infused oil.

Add the tofu to the pan and fry until golden. When cooked, remove from the pan and place on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.

Return the pan to a medium-high heat and add the sesame oil (and if needed, more garlic oil).

Add the ginger and cook for 1 minute before adding the carrots and capsicum.

After 2 minutes, add the green beans and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Finally add the soy sauce and cook until the vegetables are done- they should be done ‘al dente’ so not too soft.

Scoop the vegetables into bowls and add the crispy tofu. Top with sesame seeds, cilantro and season as desired.

Serve with rice or soba noodles.

Ingredients

200g Firm tofu, cubed

1 tsp Cornflour

1 Red capsicum, chopped into strips

1 Carrot, thinly sliced

80g Green beans or bok choy

1/2 tsp Sesame oil

1 tbsp Garlic-infused oil

1 tbsp Soy sauce or tamari

1 tsp Grated ginger

1 tsp Sesame seeds

1 tbsp Fresh cilantro/coriander

Salt & pepper to taste
