2. 2

   Boil the soba noodles for 4-5 minutes, then rinse in cold water to remove starch.

   Press the tofu for 10 minutes, cut into cubes and air-fry or pan-fry until golden and crisp on all sides (about 12 minutes).

4. 4

   Season with five-spice, then toss in hoisin and garlic over high heat for the last minute until sticky.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and edamame for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

   Bulking upgrade: add the cashews, sesame oil for extra energy-dense calories.
