Ok, that looks like a lot more ingredients and steps to make these teriyaki tofu soba noodles than it feels in reality! I promise there’s nothing complex about this, and you can absolutely multi-task many of the steps which certainly speeds things up!

You can also mix up the veggies to use whatever you have on hand. I keep edamame in the freezer so almost always use them, but capsicum, beans and cabbage have all made appearances in the past too!
