Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3 cloves garlic -- minced

21 ounces firm reduced-fat tofu

12 ounces soba noodles

 

To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients except the tofu and pasta in a

food processor or blender and process them well. Cut the tofu into eight

pieces. Place the pieces in the marinade, cover the container, and marinate the

tofu for 1 hour. Turn the pieces over and marinate them at least 1 hour longer.

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain it, transfer it to a

large bowl, and cover it to keep it warm until the tofu is cooked.

Coat a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat it to

medium-high. Remove the tofu pieces from the marinade, reserving the liquid.

Place the tofu in the skillet and cook the pieces for 2 minutes on each side, or

until they're golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and cover the

pieces to keep them warm. Pour the marinade into the skillet and bring it to a

boil. Pour the warm marinade over the pasta and toss the mixture to combine

well.

Dish up the pasta, topping each serving with two slices of cooked tofu.
