Nov 30 2011 10:50 PM | gina in Green Living
Ingredients- 4 ounces soba noodles
- 1/2 large carrot, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 7 ounces extra firm tofu, pressed
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3/4 inch piece ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Boil water and prepare soba noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse them while they are still a bit firm or they will become mushy.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Press excess liquid out of tofu, then cut into 1-inch squares. Spray pan with cooking spray and add tofu, arranging into one layer. Saute for about 6-8 minutes, turning often to brown all sides of the blocks.
- Combine all dressing ingredients. Either whisk together or blend in a blender (I use a Magic Bullet).
- In a large bowl, combine carrot, green onions, bell pepper, cooled tofu, and soba noodles. Pour dressing over and toss.
- This can be eaten immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for one hour, then letting it come to room temperature.
