Instructions

Press tofu for at least 15 minutes between paper towels with a heavy object on top and cut into ½-inch thick pieces, about 1-2 inches long.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, miso paste, garlic, and ginger until smooth, mashing miso into the liquid first to avoid clumps. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to package directions until just chewy. Drain and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking and remove excess starch. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tofu and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden on the bottom. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until crispy on multiple sides. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add carrot and cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add radishes and green onions, cooking for 1 more minute until just warmed but still crisp.
Reduce heat to medium. Pour sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Add noodles and tofu, tossing until everything is evenly coated with the sauce, about 1 minute.
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.
