This meal has become a favorite of mine likely. Deliciously simple and loaded with nutritious greens and fresh ginger.

Stir-fried chard w/ soba noodles & tofu

• 1 t. toasted sesame oil
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece ginger, minced
• 3-4 dashes of black rice or balsamic vinegar

• 2 servings of firm tofu, cubed & stir-fried in sesame oil until browned
• 1/4 c. chopped green onion
• 2 T. toasted sesame seeds

In a wok or large skillet, heat sesame oil over high heat.

Add garlic & ginger, stir fry for about a min adding a dash of vinegar when it begins to stick.

Add the carrot and a couple of dashes of vinegar, stir-fry for 2 min.

Next add the chard and a few splashes of tamari. Cook for 1-2 min.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the pre-cooked tofu & soba noodles. Splash in a little more tamari.

Toss everything together and stir until the noodles are well heated.
