Ginger Soba Noodles

Directions

1. 1
   Boil water and prepare soba noodles according to package directions.
2. 2
   Drain and rinse them while they are still a bit firm or they will become mushy.

   Press excess liquid out of tofu, then cut into 1-inch squares.
5. 5
   Spray pan with cooking spray and add tofu, arranging into one layer.
6. 6
   Saute for about 6-8 minutes, turning often to brown all sides of the blocks.
7. 7
   Combine all dressing ingredients.
8. 8
   Either whisk together or blend in a blender (I use a Magic Bullet).
9. 9
   In a large bowl, combine carrot, green onions, bell pepper, cooled tofu, and soba noodles.
10. 10
    Pour dressing over and toss.

    This can be eaten immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for one hour, then letting it come to room temperature.
