Method

* Start by boiling the water as per instructions on the package to boil the noodles. Add noodles once water comes to a boil and then cook the noodles as per time given on the packet.

* Drain the noodles once done. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add a teaspoon of oil to the noodles and mix to prevent them from sticking and set aside.

* While the noodles are boiling, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a pan of medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes along with the curry powder, salt and ground black pepper. Toss to combine.

* Cook the tofu for 3 to 4 minutes until brown from both the sides. Set it aside.

* In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients listed under sauce - soy sauce, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, sriracha, ground black pepper and salt. Mix it well and set it aside.

* Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to a wok on high heat. Once the oil is really hot, add grated ginger and chopped celery and fry for 15 to 20 seconds until ginger starts to change color.

* Then add the carrot, green onion, red bell pepper and snow peas and cook for 30 seconds. Veggies are cooked on high heat for few seconds, they should remain crunchy.

* Add the prepared sauce and toss the veggies with the sauce for few seconds.

* Then add in the curried tofu to the wok and mix well.

* Stir in the boiled soba noodles. Lower the heat to medium-low.

* Toss well until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and the veggies.

* Sprinkle sesame seeds and mix. Serve hot.
