Cooking Instructions:

Before cooking:

BRING A POT OF SALTED WATER TO THE BOIL OVER A HIGH HEAT.
1. TO COOK THE SOBA NOODLES AND PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:

Once the water is boiling add the soba noodles to the pot and cook for 4-5 mins. Drain into a colander, rinse with cold water and allow to drain well. Peel the carrot and make ribbons by pulling a peeler the full length along the carrot, rotating after each peel. Finely slice the spring onions on the diagonal.
2. TO COOK THE HONEY AND GINGER TOFU:

Remove the honey and ginger tofu from its marinade and reserve. Slice the tofu into 1 cm slices. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot add the tofu and cook for 2-3 mins on each side. Pour over the reserved marinade, season with salt and remove from the pan.
3. TO COOK THE CHARRED EDAMAME AND PEANUT SOBA:

Place a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the edamame and cook for 4-5 mins stirring occasionally to create a char. Add the noodles, carrot, sliced red cabbage and half the spring onion to the pan. Cook for 1-2 mins. Add the peanut dressing and gently toss to combine.
TO SERVE:

Using tongs place a bundle of peanut noodles and charred edamame into bowls. Serve with honey and ginger tofu on the side. Sprinkle with white and black sesame seeds and remaining spring onion.
