Nell Newman's Marinated Ginger Tofu Over Crispy Browned Soba Noo

I got this recipe from newman's own cookbook. Tofu is so good in soy sauce. This is an excellent dish! Update: due to reviews, please use a low sodium soy sauce, so it won't be too salty!

Steps

Simmer the tofu in the soy sauce with the gingeroot , onion , and the 2 1 / 4 cups of water for 1 hours.

Allow to marinate for at least 1 hours.

Or up to 5 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Place the red pepper , celery , bok choy , and zucchini in a large , shallow , ovenproof dish and pour the tofu and marinade over them.

Braise for 30 to 60 minutes.

, depending on how you like your tofu or how much time you have.

I usually cook it until the tofu is browned and the sauce is bubbly.

While the tofu is cooking , place the soba noodles in boiling water with 1 tbls.

Of sesame oil and cook until al dente.

Drain and place in nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Add the remaining 2 tbls.

Of sesame oil and spread the noodles so they cover the pan evenly.

Cook until darkly browned or lightly burned.

To serve , spoon the tofu mixture over individual portions of the fried noodles.
