FAQ

Is this recipe gluten-free?
Gluten-free status depends on the soba noodles. Use gluten-free buckwheat soba and check labels to ensure there’s no wheat.
Can I make it vegan or dairy-free?
Yes. Replace kefir labneh with a plant-based yogurt or cashew-based labneh to keep a similar tang.

Try tempeh or chickpeas in place of tofu, and use rice noodles or gluten-free soba if needed.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2–3 days; reheat on the stove or in a microwave.

About 20–30 minutes from start to finish.
Can I prep ingredients ahead of time?
Yes. You can chop garlic and ginger, press tofu, and cook soba in advance; store separately and finish when ready to serve.
