We just love discovering new and exciting ways of using ingredients that we always have in our kitchen cupboards. One terrific (and indulgent!) example of this is turning the humble egg noodle into crunchy fritters. If you’ve been searching for an alternative to the ubiquitous mini spring roll as a party starter, try these fritters for a party snack that will have your guests reaching for another… and another… and another!

Tofu. It’s such a divisive food – either you like it, or you avoid it like the plague. Maybe it’s the rubbery texture you don’t like, or if you’re on the other side of the camp, the silken texture that you love. Some might say it’s bland and flavourless, while others would counter with tofu’s ability to soak up flavours like a sponge.

Ah, brittle. You simple – yet utterly seductive – sweet treat. How you tempt us with your glistening amber body, your come-hither-morsels and your heady caramelly aroma! Brittle is about as pure as sweet as one can get. Quite simply, caramelised and set sugar with tasty bits suspended within.
