How to cook Spicy Peanut Soba Noodle Bowls

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 175 degrees C.
2. Make the marinade by mixing the tahini, soy sauce,  agave, and hot sauce, mix and pour over the tofu slices to marinate while the oven heats up. Add a sliced bell pepper and put it in the oven for 20 minutes, flip and 15-20 minutes further until desired consistency.
3. While its baking, make the sauce by blending peanut butter, tahini, soy sauce, water, agave, the juice of a lime, some garlic, ginger, hot sauce and peanuts. Blend until smooth or you can have it chunky, however you like it.
4. Prepare the soba noodles as per the package once your tofu is almost done. Gently toss the soba noodles in the Spicy Peanut Sauce with a bunch of spinach until the spinach wilts. Place the noodles in the bowl, adorn with tofu and bell pepper, opt to add saurkraut and cilantro. Dig in!

NOTES:

Use buckwheat soba noodles and tamari for gluten-free. Use a low sodium soy sauce for greater health. Marinade the tofu longer for more flavor. For crisper tofu use extra-firm tofu, press the tofu to release any water for 10-20 minutes. For extra crsip flip the tofu in potato starch (or starch or choice) before baking. Viola! Use a seed butter and seeds for nut-free.
