INGREDIENTS

  • 3 large ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Other ingredients:

  • Soba noodles
  • 250g firm tofu, well-pressed
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Some gluten-free flour (or any flour you have at home)

METHOD

Cook the soba noodles in boiling, slightly salted water for 5 minutes and then drain.

Cut the tofu block into small cubes and put them into a bowl. In the bowl season the tofu with salt, pepper. 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder and then mix in some flour (this will help to lock in the flavour). Now put the tofu cubes into a pan and fry in some oil until they brown on all sides.

Roughly chop up the tomatoes and add them and all other ingredients into a food processor. Blend until you get a smooth tomato sauce.

Distribute the soba noodles in bowls, pour over the tomato sauce and top with tofu cubes. Serve with an optional green salad.
