I buy some prepared tofu, its fried (mm the best) and yaki soba noodles... Cook up the noodles ( Japanese style ramen in the refrigerator section of your grocery store) well first saute the tofu ( cut it into chunks) then add the noodles and seasoning from the noodles its super simple and cheap.. The pkg of noodles is $2.29 and the tofu is $1.49.. Also add some stir fry noodles if ya want..
I like making stir fry and putting steamed cubes of it in with it. I like steaming it or frying it and eating it with rice. I also put it in soup! YUMMY!!!!
