Cooking Steps
To prepare your ingredients peel and cut carrot into matchsticks, pick coriander leaves, finely slice spring onions, juice the lemon and peel and finely slice the ginger.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the soba noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the baby corn and carrot and cook for a final 2 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl and toss through the coriander and spring onion.
In a small bowl combine the lemon juice, ginger, sesame oil, salt-reduced soy sauce, and half of the olive oil.
Combine the plain flour and sesame seeds on a plate. Press each piece of honey soy tofu into the sesame seed mixture, flip and repeat so that all sides are coated.
Heat the remaining olive oil in medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden and toasted. Remove from the pan and cut into 2 cm thick slices.
Divide the soba noodle salad between bowls and top with the sesame crusted tofu. Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
