Ingredients
- 1 package buckwheat soba noodles (10 oz package)
- 2 package extra-firm tofu (14 oz package, drained and cubed into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 6 cup water
- 0.33 cup miso paste
- 2 tablespoon gluten-free tamari
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and finely grated)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 cup broccoli florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 bunch green onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Cook buckwheat soba noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 5 minutes until tender, then drain, rinse with cool water to halt cooking, and divide evenly among 6 soup bowls.
- In a separate large pot, bring the 6 cups of water, grated fresh ginger, gluten-free tamari, and broccoli florets to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
- Ladle 1/2 cup of the hot broth into a small bowl, whisk in the yellow miso paste until completely dissolved and smooth, then pour the mixture back into the pot over low heat without letting it boil.
- Gently stir in the cubed extra-firm tofu and toasted sesame oil, warming for 2 minutes until the tofu is heated through.
- Ladle the hot broth, vegetables, and tofu over the prepared noodles in each bowl, and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Be sure to use 100% pure buckwheat noodles to ensure the dish remains completely wheat- and gluten-free.
