Tofu Halloumi With Black Sesame Soba
[Vegan]

To Make the Tofu:

1. Drain and press tofu, then wrap it in a clean kitchen cloth to soak up the water, for about 15 minutes. When done, cut it into thick slices. Set aside.
2. Mix up the tofu marinade by combining the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Adjust the amount of liquid so the marinade is not too watery and more of a thick paste.
3. Lay out the tofu strips on a large plate and pour over a little marinade on each piece. Using a back of a spoon or your fingers, rub it in on both sides. Leave the tofu to rest for 15 minutes (or while you prepare the soba noodles).
4. Heat up the waffle iron or a sandwich grill.
5. Grill tofu for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

To Make the Black Sesame Noodles:

1. Cook soba noodles in salt water according to the instructions on the package.
2. Mix together roasted sesame seeds, salt, nutritional yeast, sumac, chili (if using), and a few spoons of olive oil.
3. Mix together soba noodles with the spice mix and serve immediately.

To Serve:

1. Serve on a plate with mango, tomato, lemon juice, and sesame oil.
