Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 150 grams Shiitake mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 200 grams soba noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon konbu cha
- 30 grams scallions (chopped)
- 65 grams shelled edamame
- Celery sprouts
Instructions
- Slice the tofu into ½-inch thick squares and then place the pieces in a single layer on a tray lined with a few sheets of paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the tofu with the salt and let the tofu sweat while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- To make the sesame sauce for the soba, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, and konbu cha.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Pat the tofu tops dry, and place the tofu in a single layer in the pan. Fry the tofu until it starts to brown on one side (about 2 minutes), and then flip it and brown the second side. Repeat until the tofu is golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Push the tofu to the side of the pan and add the sliced shiitake mushrooms in a single layer. Let them brown on one side before flipping them over.
- Rearrange the tofu on top of the mushrooms and let it steam to soften.
- When the mushrooms are nice and browned, drizzle on the soy sauce and toss together with the tofu and shiitakes to coat evenly. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Boil the soba noodles according to the time on the package.
- When the soba is done, drain it and then chill it in a few changes of cold tap water. Use your hand to agitate the noodles to strip off any excess starch on the surface of the noodles. Drain the soba well by shaking it in a strainer.
- Add the soba noodles, edamame, scallions, and dressing to a bowl and toss with tongs to coat the noodles in an even layer of sauce.
- Add the tofu and shiitake and mix to distribute evenly.
- Serve the Soba Noodle Salad topped with some sprouts for garnish.
