Marinated Ginger Tofu Over Crispy Soba Noodles

March 11, 2003

Hi Everyone! Just thought I'd share this one. Mmmmm! Try using light soy sauce or what I do a lot is take and make a veggie broth and add a few tablespoons of soy to that, you get good flavor with a lot less sodium. For fewer calories you can sautee in the veggie broth as well but use a little when cooking the noodles as it will add good flavor to the dish. Let me know what ya think!! P.S. The website listed below is a GREAT resource, you can find pretty much anything you could ever imagine here. Check it out. ;-D
