Sesame Soba Noodles

Ingredients

  • - FOR THE SESAME DRESSING -
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tamari, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • - FOR THE SOBA NOODLES -
  • 6 ounces soba noodles
  • Lemon wedge, for squeezing
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 2 cups blanched snap peas
  • 1/2 cup edamame
  • 1 watermelon radish, or 2 red radishes, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • Sesame seeds, for serving

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and maple syrup.  Set aside.

Step 2: For the Soba Noodles: Bring an unsalted pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package directions.  Drain and rinse well in cold water.  This helps to remove starches that cause clumping.  Toss the noodles with the dressing and divide into 2 or 4 bowls.  Squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the avocado slices and add to the bowl along with the snap peas, edamame, radish, mint, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.  Drizzle with more tamari or sesame oil, if desired.
