  • In a blender combine the dressing ingredients and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).
    Prepare the grill for cooking over medium heat (400°F).
  • Cook the noodles in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to package directions, under cooking them slightly. Drain the noodles in a large colander and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain again, shaking out the excess water. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and toss to coat.
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Place a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (preferably non-stick) on the cooking grates. Lightly brush both sides of the tofu with dressing. Place the tofu in a single layer on the foil. Grill the tofu over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until golden on both sides and warmed through, about 8 minutes, turning once with a flexible metal spatula. Transfer the tofu to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
