Ingredients

140g soba noodles
300g fresh or frozen podded edamame (soy) beans
4 spring onions , shredded
300g bag beansprouts
1 cucumber , peeled, halved lengthways, deseeded with a teaspoon and sliced
250g block firm tofu , patted dry and thickly sliced
1 tsp oil
handful coriander leaves, to serve
3 tbsp mirin
2 tsp tamari
2 tbsp orange juice
1 red chilli , deseeded, if you like, and finely chopped

Steps:

Heat dressing ingredients in your smallest saucepan, simmer for 30 secs, then set aside.
Boil noodles following the pack instructions, adding the edamame beans for the final 2 mins cooking time. Rinse under very cold water, drain thoroughly and tip into a large bowl with the spring onions, beansprouts, cucumber, sesame oil and warm dressing. Season if you like.
Brush tofu with the veg oil, season and griddle or grill for 2-3 mins each side - the tofu is very delicate so turn carefully. Top the salad with the tofu, scatter with coriander and serve
