Make

Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package instructions.
While noodles cook, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for tofu). Remove tofu from marinade (discard marinade) and place in a single layer in the heated pan (do this in batches if needed). Sear tofu on both sides until deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes total.
Make dressing by combining reserved half of marinade with peanut butter, miso and sesame seeds. (To get a smooth sauce, it helps to combine all ingredients in a jar or plastic container with a lid and shake well.)
Drain noodles and combine with bell peppers, carrots and edamame. Add dressing and toss to combine.
Serve tofu slices over noodles and finish with fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
