Ingredients

14oz extra-firm tofu (pressed)
3tbsp white miso paste
2tbsp pure maple syrup
1tbsp soy sauce
1tsp toasted sesame oil
8oz buckwheat soba noodles
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
1tbsp black sesame seeds
1tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

Begin by pressing the tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.

Whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.

Toss the tofu cubes in half of the glaze and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and caramelized.

Meanwhile, boil the soba noodles according to package directions, drain, and rinse under cold water.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the noodles with the remaining glaze, rice vinegar, shredded carrots, and half the scallions.

Arrange the crispy tofu over the noodles and garnish generously with black sesame seeds and the remaining fresh scallions for a perfect crunch.
