Soba noodles with eggplant, tofu, and peach

Issue 66: A vegan bowl that's bright, earthy, and fresh. The combo sounds weird but it's awesome, I swear.

At first glance, this recipe reads a bit confused: eggplant, peaches, and tofu are not normally things I’d put together. But with a spicy citrus dressing and a heavy sear on the eggplant and tofu, this bowl comes together for a dish that’s equal parts bright, earthy, and fresh. It’s something I like to make each summer when eggplants and peaches are in season, and it’s a great vegan meal that doesn’t miss the meat.

When I shared this recipe with a few friends, they were pretty skeptical about the presence of peaches. I think they’re great here, but you can certainly omit.
