This recipe comes from skincare and make-up expert Wendy Rowe’s cooking and lifestyle book, Eat Beautiful. Here’s what she said about this flavoursome dish:

‘I love adding cubes of tofu to a noodle soup like this one: the gluten-free noodles and protein are sustaining, making me feel full, while the soup itself is full of gorgeous flavour from the chilli, turmeric and lemongrass. It’s a recipe that offers a wonderfully warming, nutritious meal in the colder winter months – a great alternative for vegetarians, plus a boost to the beauty of the skin as well.’
