Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 8 oz soba noodles for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: While noodles cook, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra firm tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crisp.
Step 3: Steam 3 cups broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp remaining sesame oil.
Step 5: Add drained soba noodles and steamed broccoli to the skillet with tofu. Pour the sauce over and toss everything over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until heated through and fully coated.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions on top before serving.
