Chilled Soba Noodles with Silken Tofu, Broccolini and Green Togarashi
15 minutes….that’s all it takes to have this number on the table. It’s my go-to dressing when I’m time-poor. Cook the vegetables with the noodles, add chilled silken tofu for that protein hit and a spicy, peppery topping for a seriously moreish and nutrient-rich meal.
