First cut the chicory in half and remove the bitter middle. Give the chicory for about 2 - 3 minutes boiling water, which is seasoned with 1 tablespoon vegetable stock. Fish out the chicory and cook the noodles al dente in the same water.
Cut the cucumber and tofu into bite-sized pieces. Prepare a sauce from 1 tablespoon vegetable stock, sour cream, tomato paste and pepper. Simply mix together in a saucepan or bowl.
Put the chicory in a baking dish. So that every noodle really comes into contact with sauce, I add the noodles, the pickles and the tofu to the sauce and stir everything. Then pour the mixture onto the chicory. Now sprinkle the cheese on top.
Put top / bottom heat in the oven at 180 ° C until the cheese is golden brown.
Tip: The sauce should have a consistency similar to that of tomato sauce. Simply add a little water to dilute.
