Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Tofu 1 block
Tamari 2/3 cup
Low Sodium Soy Sauce 2 cups
Onion 1
Celery 1/2 cup
Bok Choy 2
Gingerroot 2 inches
Water 2 1/4 cups
Red Pepper 1
Zucchini 1
Soba Noodles 8 oz
Sesame Oil 3 tbsp

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Tofu: In a saucepan, combine the tamari, low sodium soy sauce, gingerroot (sliced), chopped onion, and 2 1/4 cups of water. Bring to a simmer. Add the tofu block and let it simmer for 1 hour.

  2. Allow to Marinate: After simmering, allow the tofu to marinate in the sauce for at least 1 hour, or up to 5 hours for enhanced flavor.

  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the tofu is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Slice the red pepper, celery, bok choy, and zucchini.

  5. Braise the Tofu and Vegetables: In a large, shallow, ovenproof dish, place the sliced vegetables. Pour the tofu along with the marinade over the vegetables. Braise in the preheated oven for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your preference for tofu texture and caramelization of sauce.

  6. Cook the Soba Noodles: While the tofu and vegetables are cooking, cook the soba noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and place them in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

  7. Crisp the Noodles: Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan with the soba noodles. Spread the noodles evenly in the pan and cook until they are darkly browned or lightly charred, stirring occasionally.

  8. Serve: To serve, spoon the tofu and vegetable mixture over individual portions of the crispy browned soba noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
