Ingredients
- 250 grams green tea soba noodles
- 200 grams extra firm tofu
- 150 grams edamame (shelled)
- 100 grams spinach leaves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 whole green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green tea soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 5-7 minutes), until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to halt cooking. Set aside.
Step 2
While the noodles are cooking, drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Julienne the red bell pepper and carrot. Add them to the pan along with the shelled edamame. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 6
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for 2 additional minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
Step 7
Return the crispy tofu to the pan. Add the cooked soba noodles and toss everything together.
Step 8
Drizzle the soy sauce over the noodle mixture, ensuring everything is well coated. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle them along with sesame seeds over the dish.
Step 10
Remove from heat and divide the soba noodle mixture among four plates. Serve immediately, enjoying the blend of hearty protein and fresh greens.
