Ingredients
Serves 4
400g (14oz) soba noodles
4 heaped tbsp peeled and roughly chopped root ginger
4 tbsp toasted sesame oil
4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
400g (14oz) ready-to-eat smoked tofu, cubed
1/2 large cucumber, very finely sliced
4 tbsp sesame seeds, lightly toasted in a dry frying pan until they start to turn golden
Directions
1 Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions. Soba noodles usually require boiling for 5 minutes then refreshing in cold water.
2 To make the dressing, in a blender, whiz together the ginger, sesame oil, lime or lemon juice and tamari or soy until smooth – or as smooth as you can get the ginger in your blender. Some bits will probably remain, which is fine.
3 Pour the dressing over the noodles, add the tofu cubes and cucumber slices, and toss together. Heap into bowls and scatter with the toasted sesame seeds.
