Marinate firm tofu with the rest of the miso, sugar, light soy sauce, and mirin in a separate bowl.

Sear fresh shiitake mushrooms in a non-stick frying pan on high heat until charred.

Sear marinated tofu in the same pan until caramelized.

Prepare vegetables: slice carrot, watermelon radish, and Pak choy.

Heat soba noodles soaked in hot water for about 5 minutes.

Add noodles to boiling stock and cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Add sliced carrot and watermelon radish to the boiling stock for 2-3 minutes.

Add Pak choy and Swiss chard for the last 30 seconds to keep them crunchy.

Compile the bowl with noodles, seared tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables, garnishing with black sesame seeds and spring onion.
