To use up the buckwheat you could follow this main course with the Buckwheat Crepes as a dessert.

Instructions

Add the soba and cook according to package directions.

Drain and rinse briefly with cold water. Set aside. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the tofu and vegetables. Spray a large non-stick skillet or wok lightly with oil and heat it over a medium-high burner. Once it’s hot, add the tofu in a single layer. Cook until light brown on the bottom, and add the soy sauce/water mixture and the 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil. Turn the tofu cubes over and cook until liquid has boiled off.

Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are great choices for Korean. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Field Recordings Chenin Blanc with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
