  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 255 grams dried soba noodles or linguine pasta
  • 4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
  • 1 container (400 grams) extra-firm tofu (not silken style), drained, cut lengthwise into five slices about thick, patted dry
  • 1 globe eggplant, 400 to 455 grams and 7.5 centimeters in diameter, trimmed, cut into 12-millimeter slices
  • 10 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
  • 4 baby (Shanghai) bok choy, about 115 grams total, each cut in half lengthwise

  • In a blender combine the dressing ingredients and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

    Prepare the grill for cooking over medium heat (200°C).
  • Cook the noodles in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to package directions, under cooking them slightly. Drain the noodles in a large colander and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain again, shaking out the excess water. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and toss to coat.
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Place a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (preferably non-stick) on the cooking grates. Lightly brush both sides of the tofu with dressing. Place the tofu in a single layer on the foil. Grill the tofu over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until golden on both sides and warmed through, about 8 minutes, turning once with a flexible metal spatula. Transfer the tofu to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
