Ingredients
-
200g soba (buckwheat noodles)
-
1 block firm tofu, cubed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 spring onions (cébettes), thinly sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 1 handful chopped shiso leaves (optional)
-
Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or coconut sugar
-
1 clove garlic, pressed
-
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
For the dressing :
Instructions
- Cook soba according to package instructions. Make sure not to overcook them, so that they remain firm. Once cooked, drain under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup (or coconut sugar), pressed garlic and grated ginger. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked soba, golden tofu cubes, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber and chopped chives.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
- Sprinkle with chopped shiso leaves (if using) and toasted sesame seeds.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to mingle. Serve chilled, garnishing each portion with more sesame seeds if desired.
