Instructions
Follow the steps and taste along the way.
Prepare the vegetables and tofu
Peel the carrot and cut it into thin strips. Cut the cucumber into thin batons. Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel and cut it into roughly 2 cm cubes.
Cook the noodles
Bring 1.5 l of water to a boil in a pot. Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, usually 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and briefly rinse with cold water.
Fry the tofu
Heat the sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry for 5 to 6 minutes, turning it occasionally so it browns on all sides.
Mix the sauce
In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, 30 ml of water, and finely grated ginger. Stir until smooth and pourable.
Combine and serve
Add the drained noodles and peanut sauce to the pan with the tofu. Toss together and heat for about 1 minute. Divide between two bowls and top with the carrot, cucumber, and sesame seeds.
