250-300g dry soba noodles
100g peeled edamame (or peas, or green beans cut into short segments)
300g tofu, cut into small cubes
2 tbsp soy sauce
1.5 tsp sugar
3 small cucumbers, julienned
4-5 small spring onions, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
apx 4 tsp minced ginger
3-4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp miso paste
2 tbsp sesame paste
4-5 tbsp lemon juice
apx 1/3 cup of water
dry chili flakes to taste
salt to taste
Blanch the edamame/peas/beans in salted water and shock in cold water. Drain well.
Blanch the tofu and drain.
Mix the tofu with 2 tbsp soy and 1.5 tsp sugar and gently heat in a small pot or in the microwave (the heat helps the tofu absorb the marinade).
Cook the noodles in plenty of water and wash very well.
If not serving soon, mix the noodles with a bit of oil.
If serving all of the amount soon, mix all of the ingredients, otherwise, mix the sauce individually and add it to the noodles and vegetables before serving.
Add more water as needed to give the sauce a creamy consistency.
Scatter some toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
