Sesame ginger dressing (pack separately)

Method

1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Cube the tofu, toss with the cornstarch and a pinch of salt, and roast on a lined pan until crisp.
2
Cook the soba per the package, then rinse well under cold water so it doesn't clump.
3
Whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, tahini, maple, ginger and garlic.
4
Toss the noodles with a third of the dressing. Divide between 4 boxes and top with the edamame, cucumber, carrot, cabbage, tofu and green onion. Pack the rest of the dressing on the side.

Storage

Keeps 4 days in the fridge. Soba soaks up dressing overnight, so the extra cup of dressing on the side keeps it saucy. Not a freezer box.

Good to know

Look for 100% buckwheat soba if you need it gluten-free, and use tamari or coconut aminos.
