Description
A delicious and quick soba noodle recipe tossed in a flavorful sesame soy sauce, perfect as a side or main dish.
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, about 4 to 5 minutes. Important: when done, rinse noodles under cool running water in a strainer, tossing to remove starch. Shake off excess water. If you’d like the noodles warm when serving, run them under warm water for a few seconds; can also serve at room temperature or cold. Skipping this step may cause the noodles to soak up the sauce and become dry.
- 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 dish can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold based on preference.
- If adding protein, options include fried egg, pan-fried tofu, marinaded tofu, or sautéed shrimp.
