Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 oz dried soba noodles (buckwheat noodles) ((2-3 bundles for 4 servings))
2 green onions/scallions
1 handful cilantro (coriander) ((0.7 oz, 20 g for 4 servings))
1 Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
1 Tbsp neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, rice bran, canola, etc.)
3 Tbsp roasted sesame oil
½ tsp crushed red pepper (red pepper flakes)
3 Tbsp honey ((use maple syrup for vegan))
3 Tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • Gather all the ingredients.
  • To make the dressing, combine the vegetable oil, sesame oil, and crushed red peppers in a small saucepan.
  • Whisk it all together and infuse the oil over medium heat for 3 minutes. Alternatively, you can put these ingredients in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Set aside to let it cool a bit; be careful while handling as it'll get very hot.
  • Add the honey and soy sauce to the oil mixture.
  • Whisk it all together until the honey has completely dissolved.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot (you do not need to salt the water for cooking soba). Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, but make sure they are al dente. Drain into a colander and rinse the soba noodles under cold running water. This step is important to remove the excess starch from the noodles and to stop the cooking. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Thinly slice the green onions and chop the cilantro into small pieces.
  • Add the dressing, green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds to the bowl with the soba noodles.
  • Toss everything together. Transfer to a serving bowl or plate. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

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.

SOBA NOODLE AND STEAK SALAD WITH GINGER-LIME DRESSING



Soba Noodle and Steak Salad With Ginger-Lime Dressing image

Soba, which are buckwheat noodles common in Japanese cooking, work well for a weeknight meal: They take just a few minutes to cook and can be served warm or at room temperature (which means they make great leftovers). Hanger steak is quickly seared in a drizzle of oil, and once done, the bok choy is cooked in the residual fat left behind, leaving you with one less pan to wash. This flexible dish also works well with seared or grilled shrimp or chicken. Shredded cabbage or tender broccolini could also be swapped in for the bok choy. Soft herbs like basil or cilantro would also be nice. The only thing you need to round out this meal is wine, preferably chilled and pink.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces soba noodles
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice (from 2 limes)
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 pound hanger or skirt steak, at room temperature
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon canola or grapeseed oil, plus more as needed
8 ounces baby bok choy, halved lengthwise if large
1 cup julienned or thinly sliced carrots
3 to 4 radishes, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (2 or 3 scallions)
1/4 cup fresh mint, torn
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water, drain well and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil and brown sugar; set aside.
  • Season the steak well with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canola oil and when it shimmers, add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to get crisp and golden on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. (If you are using skirt steak, you may need to cut it into 2 or 3 pieces to fit in the pan, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes.) Flip and finish cooking, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Set aside and allow the steak to rest while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • Turn heat to medium and add the bok choy. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and char in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, adding another teaspoon or so of oil if needed to help if the pan is too dry. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, toss the soba noodles, carrots, radishes (if using) and half the scallions. Drizzle with the ginger-lime dressing to taste and divide among plates or in serving bowls. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and top each portion with some of the steak and the bok choy. Scatter the remaining scallions and the mint over top and season with flaky salt, if desired. Serve with any leftover dressing in a small bowl to be passed at the table.
