Method:

First, take the tofu, pull it out of the packaging, put it on paper towels and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Then cut into smaller cubes. Prepare a bowl in which you’ll be mixing the ingredients for the marinade – soy sauce, maple syrup and chilli sauce. Mix everything thoroughly and marinate the tofu in the mixture for at least 30 minutes. Then fry the tofu until golden in a pan with ½ tbsp of olive oil. For now, set the fried tofu aside.

Cook the soba noodles in a pot of boiling water. In the meantime, pre-heat a pan, add ½ tbsp of oil to it, and lightly fry the chopped ginger and garlic. After a while, add peeled carrot cut into thin slices, and the broccoli, cut into smaller florets. Let them fry until they are tender. If you prefer a softer consistency, you can pre-boil the broccoli and carrots in water for a few minutes before sautéing. Finally, add the marinated tofu and drained soba noodles to the fried vegetables.
