Sesame Soba Noodle Salad

Sesame Soba Noodle Salad

I love Soba Noodle Salads. I enjoy the crunch of the fresh Vegetables juxtaposed against the slight chew of the Soba Noodles all tossed in a bright, flavorful and delicious dressing. This is a great Noodle dish for any hot summer day because it can be served cold or at room temperature.

Ingredients

5 oz Soba Noodles

1 Cucumber Julienned

2 Carrots Julienned

1 Yellow Bell Pepper cut into thin slices

2 cups Red Cabbage thinly sliced

2 Green Onions sliced thin lengthwise

1 tsp of White Sesame Seeds

1 tsp of Black Sesame Seeds

Sesame Dressing

3 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil

3 Tbsp of Rice Vinegar

2 Tbsp of Light Tamari

2 tsp of Miso Paste

1 tsp of Vegan Honey or other sweetener

1 clove of Garlic crushed or finely minced

1 1/2 tsp of Ginger finely minced

1 tsp of White Sesame Seeds

1 tsp of Black Sesame Seeds

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cut all the Vegetables and add them to a large bowl.

2. Cook the Soba Noodles according to the package directions. Rinse in cold water and dry as much as possible. If necessary you can briefly place them on a clean kitchen towel.

3. Add the cooked Noodles to the bowl and toss well with the Veggies.

4. Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and pour over the Veggies and Noodles. Add in the Sesame Seeds and gently toss before serving.

Tip: A really simple way to Julienne the vegetables is with a Julienne peeler which works similarly to a standard vegetable peeler.
