Ingredients

1 tsp sesame oil or water fry
10 shiitake mushroom sliced
1.2 lb extra firm tofu chopped into small cubes
1 tbsp tamari reduced sodium preferred
6.5 oz dry soba noodles use 100% buckwheat for gluten-free
2 carrots shredded
3 cups bok choy thinly sliced
2 nori sheets shredded
2 scallions thinly sliced

Sauce

2 tbsp fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves peeled
2 tsp red miso paste
¼ cup hulled tahini
1 tbsp sriracha or Gochujang (more to taste)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp low sodium vegetable stock powder
¼ cup water

To serve

kimchi to taste

Instructions

Prepare the tofu: To a large pan on medium heat, add the oil, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and tamari. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring only a couple of times to allow the tofu to sear and develop a golden crust.
Prepare the noodles: Cook the soba noodles according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, rinse under cold water until the noodles are cold; this prevents sticking.
Prepare the sauce: Add the ginger, garlic, miso, tahini, Sriracha, lime juice, vegetable stock powder, and water to a small blender and blend until smooth.
Assemble: Prepare 4 glass containers of at least 21 fl oz (600 ml) size. Layer the sauce at the bottom of each container followed by the tofu and mushrooms, noodles, carrot, bok choy, nori sheets, and scallions.
When ready to eat, take out of the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the glass to get closer to room temperature. Cover with boiling water, and allow to rest covered for 10 minutes. Add kimchi, stir well and enjoy!

Notes

If using a glass container (which I recommend), take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before adding the boiling water to avoid the very cold glass getting in contact with boiling water, which could shatter it.
