Instructions
1
Prep
Press the tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to drain excess water, then pat dry. Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
2
Boil
Cook the soba noodles in boiling water over high heat for 4–5 minutes until tender but springy. Drain and rinse under cold water.
3
Fry
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu cubes for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on most sides.
4
Simmer
Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, edamame, and carrot. Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry, add to the skillet, and simmer for 2 minutes over medium heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Toss
Add drained soba noodles and shredded napa cabbage to the skillet. Toss over medium-low heat for 1–2 minutes until evenly glazed.
6
Plate
Transfer to a bowl and finish with sliced scallion and toasted sesame seeds scattered over the top.
