  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, vinegar, pepper, ginger, garlic, sugar, remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil, Siracha Sauce and lime juice to make sauce.
  • Add sauce and stock to vegetables and mix well.
  • Transfer tofu, uncooked snow peas and Thai basil (if available) to stir-fry and mix.
  • Follow package instructions to cook soba noodles. Add cooked noodles when vegetables are soft. Continue to stir for 5 minutes or until mixed through and warm.
  • Top with scallions (and cilantro if using) and serve!
