  • Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
8 ounces dried soba noodles 3/4 cup bread crumbs 1/4 cup Parmesan freshly grated big pinch of salt 12 ounces extra firm organic tofu, cut into 6 rectangular slabs 2 eggs, lightly beaten a generous splash of olive oil 1 bunch green onions, greens trimmed, thinly sliced 4 big handfuls of chard, spinach or kale - destemmed and cut into bite-sized pieces 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 cup Parmesan, freshly grated a few baby radishes, sliced paper thin
Directions
Boil a large pot of water and cook soba noodles per packet instructions or until just tender. I like to salt my water generously as I would other pasta. Drain and set aside.

While the water is coming to a boil, get the tofu started by combining the bread crumbs, Parmesan and salt in a shallow plate. Dunk each piece of tofu in the egg and then press into the bread crumbs. Make sure each piece is nicely coated with crumbs. Place each piece on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces. Bake in a 375 degree oven or pan-fry in a skillet in a bit of olive oil until both sides are golden, flipping once along the way. Slice into strips and set aside.

Add the olive oil (and bit of salt) to a large skillet over med-high heat. Stir in the green onions, chard, and cook for a minute until the chard collapses. Stir in the soba noodles. Stir in the garlic powder and Parmesan. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with sliced radishes. Serve family-style or on individual plates - each nest of noodles topped with some of the tofu slices.

Serves 4-6.

    Didn't use the tofu as I'm not a tofu fan, and topped with some fresh stir-fried veggies instead. YUM! - 4/7/10
