Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • ½ pound Hodo organic braised tofu
  • 5 ounces soba noodles
  • 1 organic lime
  • 1 organic Bartlett or other pear
  • 4 or 5 sprigs organic fresh cilantro
  • Sunbasket miso-tamari dressing base (miso - gluten-free tamari - rice vinegar - toasted sesame oil)
  • 3 ounces organic shredded red or other cabbage
Chef's Tip
Rinsing the cooked soba noodles in cold water not only cools them down and stops the cooking but also washes off excess starch that can interfere with the flavor. You can rinse them in a colander under tap water, or dump the drained noodles back into the emptied pot, fill the pot with cold water, swish the noodles around with your hands, and then drain.

1

Cook the soba noodles and tofu

  • Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. While the soba noodles and tofu cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients; assemble the salad

  • Juice the lime.
  • Peel the pear, if desired; core and cut into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.
In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] lime juice and half the miso-tamari dressing base (set aside the remaining dressing for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the soba noodles, tofu, pear, and cabbage and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the tofu and soba noodle salad to individual bowls and garnish with the cilantro. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
