Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, honey, ginger, oil, and garlic. Lay the tofu slices in a baking dish that can hold them in a single snug layer. Pour the marinade over the tofu.

3. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the tofu is nearly dry and well browned.

4. While tofu bakes, prepare soba noodles according to package directions.

5. Serve tofu over soba noodles.
