This is one of the simplest, most hands-off ways to get dinner on the table! With just 5 minutes of prep, you can let the oven do all the heavy lifting, giving you a flavourful, nourishing meal without the fuss. We use tofu and oyster mushrooms here for a savoury, satisfying base, but you can easily switch up the veggies based on what’s in your fridge or what’s fresh in season. It’s a flexible, plant-powered dish that’s perfect for busy nights or when you want something delicious with minimal effort!

Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (around 400°F) so it’s ready for baking by the time everything is assembled.
Prepare the Vegetables
While the oven is heating, take a few minutes to prepare your veggies. Slice the green onions, chop up the pak choy, and give the mushrooms a rough chop if they’re on the larger side. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Feel free to add any other veggies you have on hand—it’s a flexible recipe!
Assemble Everything in the Baking Tray
In a large baking tray, add the brown rice noodles, tofu, mushrooms, green onions, and pak choy. Pour over the coconut milk, tamari or soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, chilli powder, coconut sugar or maple syrup, and water. Use your hands or a spoon to gently toss everything together, making sure the noodles are fully coated in the sauce. This will help the flavours mingle as it bakes.
Bake to Perfection
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. About halfway through, give everything a quick stir to ensure even cooking. You’ll know it’s ready when the sauce has thickened a bit and the noodles are tender.
Final Touches
Remove the tray from the oven, give it a good mix to combine all the flavours, and then garnish with any extra toppings you like—maybe fresh herbs, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime for an extra zing.
Serve and Enjoy!
Dish up this cosy, flavour-packed meal and enjoy a bowl of delicious comfort food. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner!
