Ingredients

9 ounces soba noodles (also known as buckwheat noodles)
1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
1 cup matchstick or thinly sliced carrots
3 scallions, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Sliced seasoned seaweed (for garnish)
¼ cup rice vinegar
3 ½ tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons honey (to taste)
3 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

Make the dressing: In a mason jar, combine all the Ginger Soy Dressing ingredients. Cover with lid and shake vigorously until evenly combined. Adjust to taste if needed. Set aside.
Cook soba noodles according to package directions, until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. There's no need to add salt to the water. To be sure, test it after 3-4 minutes to check for doneness. When ready, immediately drain and rinse with very cold water to stop the cooking process. This will prevent the noodles from getting too soft.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked soba noodles with the cilantro, cabbage, carrots, scallions, and the prepared dressing. Garnish with sesame seeds, more sliced scallions, and sliced seasoned seaweed. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

This cold salad is easy to make and great for prepping healthier options for the week's lunches or snacks. I like to add some heat by mixing sriracha or chili garlic paste into the Thai peanut sauce.
