We're rounding out the Three Musketeers of the My Hero Academia anime with Shoto Todoroki! His favorite dish (and a favorite among fans) is cold soba (aka buckwheat) noodles. Today, we'll be making some of our own with some edamame and tofu for added protein.

This is actually one of my favorite dishes, too - soba has this really nice, subtle flavor that's almost nutty. So with the sauce, you should dip it instead of coat it. That way, you can get just enough sauce to keep the noodles from drying out but so you can still enjoy the natural flavor of the noodles. 

Also, depending on the mentsuyu sauce you use, this dish can be made entirely vegan or vegetarian. You can get a variety that doesn't use bonito flakes, or you can just use soy sauce instead if you can't find any.

Ingredients (serves four)

  • 8 oz soba noodles 
  • 1 bag frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 sheet of nori 
  • 8 oz tofu (silken if you're eating cold, firm if you prefer it crispy)
  • If using firm tofu: 0.5 cup teriyaki
  • 0.5 cup green onion, diced
  • Mentsuyu sauce​

Instructions

  1. If you're using firm tofu: press tofu to drain, then dice into cubes. Put in bowl with teriyaki and let marinade for at least 2 hours.
  2. ​​Cook 8 oz. dry soba noodles. This should make about 4 cups cooked. Run under cool water to cool if you're serving immediately.
  3. If you're using firm tofu: air fry tofu at 375 for 15 minutes, or bake for 25 minutes or until it has reached the desired crispiness. 
  4. Cook edamame per bag instructions and let cool.
  5. Once everything has cooled, plate your soba noodles. Take a nori sheet and cut into tiny, short, thin strips for garnish (or, alternatively, you can use furikake seasoning to save yourself some time). Add green onion.
  6. Add edamame and tofu either on top of your noodles or on the side. Keep sauce for dipping in a small bowl.
