Soba Salad 蕎麦サラダ
Ingredients
- 200 g Soba noodles buckwheat
- 2 Green onions/scallions Thinly slice
- 1 bunch Cilantro Chop
- 1 tbsp White sesame seeds roasted/toasted
For Dressing
- 1 tbsp Neutral flavor oil
- 3 tbsp Sesame oil
- ½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
Instructions
- To make the dressing, combine 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, 3 Tbsp. sesame oil, and ½ tsp. crushed red peppers in a small saucepan.
- Whisk 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 3 Tbsp. honey and 3 Tbsp. soy sauce to the oil mixture.
- Whisk all together until honey is completely dissolved.
- Bring water to a boil (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 start from the soba noodles. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
- Combine the soba noodles, dressing, green onion, cilantro, and sesame seeds in the bowl.
- Toss everything together. Transfer to a serving bowl or plate. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
