Quick Soba Stir Fry With Tofu

Vino Girl's Note:

From Eden Organic Foods. When I made this, I added extra garlic and soy sauce, and also some toasted sesame seeds, and I served it with some steamed veggies (broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots). As written this is on the bland side, but it's an excellent starting off point to your own customized dish. I enjoyed this.
