Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

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!

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Cold Soba Noodles With Dipping Sauce image

In Japan, where it gets plenty hot in the summer, cold soba noodles, served with a dipping sauce, are a common snack or light meal. Soba are brown noodles, made from wheat and buckwheat, and the sauce is based on dashi, the omnipresent Japanese stock. You would recognize the smell of dashi in an instant, even if you have never knowingly eaten it. It's a brilliant concoction based on kelp, a seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It is also among the fastest and easiest stocks you can make, and its two main ingredients - which you can buy in any store specializing in Asian foods - keep indefinitely in your pantry. I would encourage you to try making it, though you can also use chicken stock (or instant dashi, which is sold in the same stores).

SOBA SALAD



Soba Salad image

For most people, even experienced cooks, weeknight dinners are not so much a result of careful planning but of what's on hand - and what can be accomplished fairly quickly. Noodles of all kinds are easy and beloved. But soba noodles, a Japanese staple, are special: they usually take no more than 3 to 4 minutes to cook and, because they're made from buckwheat, have a slightly firm texture and a nutty flavor. Traditionally, soba are served hot and cold, making them a flexible partner for almost any fresh ingredients you have in the kitchen. In this case, they are paired with shelled frozen edamame, carrots and spinach and a light dressing.

COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Cold Noodle Salad With Spicy Peanut Sauce image

Soba, Japanese buckwheat noodles, are ideal for salads because they taste particularly great when served cold. Crunchy vegetables are highlighted here, adding lots of crisp, fresh texture. Substitute with any raw vegetables you have on hand, such as cabbage, carrot, fennel, asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower. The spicy peanut sauce is very adaptable: If you don't want to use peanut butter, you can use any nut or seed butter, like cashew, almond, sunflower or even tahini. Both the soba and the peanut sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight, but wait to combine them until you are ready to eat for the best texture and consistency. The peanut sauce thickens as it sits, so add a tablespoon or two of water to loosen it up, if necessary.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
10 ounces soba noodles
1 medium zucchini or cucumber (about 6 ounces)
5 radishes (about 4 ounces)
1 bell pepper (any color)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts (about 2 ounces), roughly chopped
2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
Handful of cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges for serving
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons chile oil or hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 garlic clove, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
  • Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
  • Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
  • When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.
