soba tofu broccoli

I’ve never been the kind of person that can eat a cup of soup for lunch and be satisfied. I always tend towards mid-day meals of substance. So, when I have to pack a lunch, I usually have to think ahead. This dish has been a solid go-to for whipping up a big mess of yummy food for lunches for the week. It is quick but SO delicious and always satisfying. It is a great option for dinner too. I’d imagine it would be good with chicken instead of tofu if you’re feeling more meaty. Enjoy!
