Meanwhile, cut 6 ounces firm silken tofu into 1/2-inch cubes; drain on paper towels. Place in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil. Pour half the dressing over tofu; toss gently to coat.

In a large bowl, toss remaining dressing with noodles, green beans, and 2 minced scallions. Sprinkle tofu on top. Let cool.
I normally love all Martha recipes, but this one came out a little bland. Maybe it's because I substituted whole wheat pasta for soba noodles, but I just wasn't as impressed as usual. Also, makes large portions.
Fabulous recipe, it's easy, quick to prepare and is a great weekday lunch. Love it.
