Soba Noodles

If you’re new here, I think it’s important to let you know that I am a total noodle queen! I love all things noodles! Whenever I need to whip something up in a pinch, one of my favorite go-tos is this Soba Noodle recipe from Love and Lemons! They’re so delicious and one of my staple meal prep items in the fridge. I think you guys are totally going to eat this one up- pun intended.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Sesame Dressing:

• ¼ cup rice vinegar

• 2 tablespoons tamari, more for serving

• ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

• 1 garlic clove, grated

• ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey

Soba Noodles:

• 6 ounces soba noodles

• Sesame oil, for drizzling

• 2 avocados, sliced

• Squeezes of lemon (to taste)

• 2 cups blanched snap peas

• ¼ cup edamame

• 1 watermelon radish or 2 red radishes, very thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

• Sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey. Set aside.

2. Bring an unsalted (this is important, do not salt the water) pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to 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 to 4 bowls. Squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the avocado slices and add to the bowls along with the snap peas, edamame, radish, mint, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle with more tamari or sesame oil to taste!

Enjoy!
