Jody’s Green Tea Noodles with Tofu

Time to relax after a rather stormy passage to Japan. Before arrival in Yokohama, Passepartout ate ‘as generously as if Japan were a desert, where nothing to eat was to be looked for’. He needn’t have worried. The green tea noodles for this recipe might prove elusive but you can find them online or in Japanese grocers. But if you draw a blank, here’s a tip: you can use ordinary soba noodles and add a couple of green tea bags to the boiling water when you’re cooking them.
