Bright Sesame Soba Noodle Bowl
A vibrant, refreshing cold noodle bowl featuring nutty soba tossed in a zesty ginger-sesame dressing. Packed with crisp snap peas, edamame, creamy avocado, and fresh mint, it makes for a revitalizing lunch or light dinner.
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the soba noodles
Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package directions (usually 3–4 minutes). Drain immediately and rinse thoroughly under cold running water, scrubbing gently with your hands to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
Step 2: Make the sesame-ginger dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, tamari, toasted sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, grated garlic and maple syrup. Set aside.
Step 3: Toss noodles and dressing
Place the cooled and drained soba noodles in a large bowl and gently toss with the dressing until well coated.
Step 4: Assemble the bowls
Divide the dressed noodles among 4 bowls. Top each with the sliced avocado, blanched snap peas, shelled edamame, thinly sliced radish and fresh mint leaves.
Step 5: Finish and serve
Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side of each bowl to squeeze over before eating. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and optionally drizzle with a little extra sesame oil or soy sauce.
