Quick-cooking soba noodles are made from buckwheat, which means they provide more fiber than wheat or rice noodles.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

3 ounces soba noodles
4 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and cut into small cubes
Salt
1 stalk broccoli, cut into small florets, stems thinly sliced
2 ounces sugar snap peas
1 tablespoon reduced-fat smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
Pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired
2 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse well under cold water to prevent sticking.

    Step 2

    Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and season with salt. Cook for 8 minutes, until golden, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a platter.

    Step 3

    Coat the skillet again with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, peas, and a splash of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and 2 tablespoons water. Whisk in the vinegar, soy sauce, and pepper flakes, if desired.

    Step 5

    Add the reserved noodles, the tofu, garlic, and sauce to the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, tossing, until the noodles are warmed through. Serve.
