Instructions
- Step 1: Stir or shake together all of the sauce in ingredients in a bowl or jar until smooth.
- Step 2: If preparing the tofu yourself, do so now. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 3: Cook the noodles until tender but still firm. Rinse them in cold water and toss with a little of the sauce to help prevent sticking.

- Serve: Divide the noodles into bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
