Vegetable Soba Noodle Salad Recipes

COLD SOBA NOODLE SALAD (BUCKWHEAT NOODLES)

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!

VEGETABLE SOBA NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the soba noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package instructions. (I prefer my soba noodles to be al dente, so I usually check the noodles one minute before the recommended doneness.) Rinse the noodles in cold water and drain for at least 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and continue cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more oil as needed. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: Mix the rice vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, chile oil, garlic, ginger, and the remaining 4 tablespoons sunflower oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Place the drained noodles in a large bowl along with the mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, scallions and 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the noodles and mix well until the dressing is evenly distributed. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top before serving.
