Japanese Tofu Noodles 日式豆腐凉面
Recently I bought some yellow tau kua (firm bean curd tofu) from the supermarket. With the tau kua I made this easy and healthy Japanese Tofu noodles that can be assembled together in less than 30 minutes. All I did was to mix with some leftover ingredients that I found in my pantry. You can substitute the tofu with chicken meat or pork or even add in shitake mushrooms as you wish. Then toss and mix everything together with the prepared sauce and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.

I love soba noodle! I stock it in my pantry all the time. I love to try this recipe soon. Your photos are so beautiful!
这个日本面我好像在哪里见过,但是超市里没有卖的。。。只有乌冬面,我在纽约这边,这个面真的做出日本菜的样子了,挺赞。
Hi Yzenith, 日式酱油和中国酱油味道是不同的。可以买小瓶的日式酱油放在家里。可以拿来做冷豆腐。我没用过芥末油,你有的话可以试试看。
这个面包装上是写Soba,外国人多数叫着buckwheat noodle. 在日式超上一定找得到。
Ann, 谢谢你的回复,看来我需要好好找找日本超市了,对了那个酱油用中国产的可以吗?例如海天的,还有如果这道菜加一点芥末油会不会好一些?
Hey, Ann, do you know if the soba noodles you used in this recipe are gluten-free? I looked at my local Asian grocery stores, but couldn't find any gluten-free version. This recipe looks so delicious and I really want to make some. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for reply. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free. But I noticed most of the soba noodles I found in my local stores are made from wheat and buckwheat. 🙁
Hi Joyce, Soba noodles are made of buckwheat. Not sure it is gluten free. Think you can only find them at the Japanese grocery stores.
Ann , I want a bowl of this noodle , I'll just let mine warm up a bit since I don't like cold noodles 😀 Thanks for sharing your wonderful dish to Little Thumbs Up !
Looks appetizing, feel like having a plate even at this hour!
