Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz soba noodles and cook for 5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
Step 2: Press 14 oz extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove from heat.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 3 sliced scallions, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 4: Add the cooled soba noodles and fried tofu cubes to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the noodles and serve chilled or at room temperature.
