Description
A refreshing soba noodle salad with a flavorful sesame sauce, perfect for a light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces soba noodles
- 1/4 cup regular soy sauce (or substitute tamari or coconut aminos)
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon miso (white or yellow)
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 4 green onions
- Sriracha, to taste (optional)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- To make it a meal: Fried egg or soft boiled egg, Pan fried tofu or Marinaded tofu, or Sauteed shrimp
Instructions
- Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions: it should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Important: when the noodles are done cooking, rinse them under cool running water in a strainer, tossing them to remove the starch. Then shake off excess water. If you’d like the noodles to be warm when serving, run them under warm water for a few seconds; you can also serve room temperature or cold.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, miso (if using), and grated garlic.
- Thinly slice the green onions on the bias (diagonally), using both white and dark green parts.
- Return the rinsed and shaken dry noodles to the pan or a bowl; stir in the sauce and green onions.
- Place in serving bowls, top with sesame seeds and serve.
Notes
- This salad can be customized with various toppings.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spice level.
- Make sure to rinse the noodles well to avoid them becoming gummy.
