Thai Curried Noodles with Broccoli and Tofu

Last night I served a Thai Curried Noodles with Broccoli and Tofu for Dinner. This dish is creamy and has just the right amount of spice. I served the curry over Zaru Soba noodles. It's a Japanese style Buckwheat noodles. These noodles cook in only four minutes and it gives a nice visual effect on the plate.
