ingredients

  • 3 bunches soba noodles
  • 1 sliced red bell pepper
  • 6 cups of water
  • 3 julienned carrots
  • 1 julienned cucumber
  • 1/4 sliced red cabbage
  • 1 head of florets broccoli
  • 1 block (14 ounces) drained and pressed to remove extra water firm tofu
  • 4 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 3 tablepoons coconut aminos
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil

Method

  • Step 1

    Boil 6 cups of water in a kettle for broccoli, red cabbage, and soba noodles later. If you fill up a water kettle completely, that should be more than enough.

  • Step 2

    In the meantime as your water boils, cube your tofu. Place it into the air fryer at 350 for 12 minutes or bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until crispy.

  • Step 3

    Julienne your veggies. For cucumbers, slice in half then scoop out the insides before you finally cut it into matchsticks

  • Step 4

    Put a large pot on high heat on the stove and pour in the hot water from the kettle. The water should come to a boil immediately.

  • Step 5

    Add in your dry soba noodles and cook for exactly five minutes.

  • Step 6

    Prepare a large ice bath on the side. Once the noodles are done, add them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  • Step 7

    In that same pot of boiling water, add your broccoli and red cabbage. Blanch for 2 minutes, then remove and rinse with the soba noodles in cold water.

  • Step 8

    To make your dressing, mix together miso paste, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil into a bowl. Whisk together until it’s well combined and resembles the consistency of peanut butter.

  • Step 9

    The tofu should be done by now. Bring all your ingredients together, give this a good mix until the dressing covers everything, and separate into 5 containers equally to eat throughout the week.
