Ingredients
- 4 oz Soba Noodles
- 2 Tablespoons (Grapeseed or Avocado Oil) Oil
- 0.25 cup, finely diced Onion
- 2 Tablespoons, finely diced Fresh Ginger
- 2 Tablespoons, finely diced Garlic
- 1 bunch Broccolini
- 0.5 cup Coconut Aminos
- 1 pound Silken Tofu
- 1, thinly sliced Green Onion
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
Directions
Soft and savory silken tofu with soba noodles and broccolini is a simple but flavorful Asian dish!
This recipe has 10-ingredients and is packed with umami!
This dish is a combination of Japanese and Chinese flavors!
Steamed tofu is a typical Chinese side dish and soba noodles are Japanese noodles made of buckwheat flour.
This silken tofu with soba noodles bowl is full of vitamins, plant-based protein, and flavor.
Soba noodles are a more nutrient noodle alternative as they are mostly made of buckwheat flour and usually gluten-free!
They are also low in calories and offer lots of manganese.
If you love noodles, this is for you.
The combination of the somewhat nutty flavor from the noodles, the bright and fresh green vegetable and that silky and creamy tofu is amazing.
Tofu is a complete protein and if you buy USDA organic and non-GMO there is nothing to be afraid of!
I also love serving this dish with bok choy, carrots, spinach, or kale.
Although the directions are very step-by-step, I usually make all 3 components at the same time.
This dish also makes for great leftovers.

Steps
1 Done | Steam The Silken Tofu and Make The SauceHeat a sauce pot on medium-high heat for 30 seconds then add 2 Tablespoons of a neutral cooking oil. Next, add the finely diced onion, ginger and garlic. Lower the heat to low and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup of coconut aminos to the sauce pot, gently stir and allow it to cook and reduce for 10-15 minutes. While the sauce cooks, steam the silken tofu. Gently invert the silken tofu from its package onto a heat proof plate then place into a pot with a bit of water and a steamer basket. Steam for 5 minutes. If you do not have a steamer, place the tofu block in a microwave-safe bowl then cover the bowl with wet paper towel. Microwave the tofu for about 5 minutes. Once the tofu and sauce are done, spoon the sauce over the tofu on the hot plate or bowl. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and sesame seeds. |
2 Done | Cook The Soba Noodles & Steam The BroccoliniBring a large pot of water to a boil. Once at a roiling boil, add the soba noodles and cook on medium-high for 7-8 minutes. After the timer is up, drain and rinse the soba noodles well until cold water. While the soba noodles are cooking, steam the broccolini the same way you steamed the tofu, about 10 minutes. |
3 Done | Serve |

I love how simple this meal was to prepare after a busy weekday. Healthy, nutritious, and so tasty! I will definitely be making this again!
JONI!! I made a small batch of this as a side for lunch today for my mom and I and we loved it! We always have silken tofu and love eating it raw so this was such a nice change from our usual dressing. We had it with somen noodles instead of soba cause we ran out but this is perfect for a quick and easy lunch, yummm.
