Cut the pepperoncini and garlic into very fine dices. Peel the lemon, cut the peel in fine stripes, squeeze the lemon. Mix with the rest of the sauce in a pan and cook together for 10 minutes.

Cut the tofu in stripes, marinate with lime juice, soy sauce and chili sauce for 1 hour. Cut the romanesco in pieces and cook in salted water for 4 minutes. Cook the soba noodles.

Tipp

If you’re in a hurry you can buy chili sauce. But the homemade is better and keeps in the fridge for 6 months.
