OTSU (TOFU AND SOBA NOODLE SALAD)

Otsu (Tofu and Soba Noodle Salad) image

This makes a wonderful, light meal with a Japanese influence! I found it in Heidi Swanson's terrific cookbook, Super Natural Cooking. If the vegetables are pre-chopped it goes together quickly. Don't worry about the long ingredient list. I'd recommend putting salt and pepper on the tofu as it's cooking. We loved this dish!
