Method

6 steps

Preheat oven to 200C. Press tofu to remove excess moisture, cube it, and bake for 25 minutes until crispy.
Cook soba noodles in boiling water according to package directions, then drain and rinse under cold water.
In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, crispy tofu, and shredded carrots.
Pour the peanut sauce over the mixture and toss thoroughly until well coated.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
