Soba Noodle Salad

“Sobas, please!” is the frequent answer to “What do you guys want for dinner?” at our house.

It’s a spin on a yummy dish I had at a retreat once, and it’s a great side dish for whatever else you’re making.

I hope you enjoy it!


Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz package buckwheat soba noodles (check that they don’t have wheat in them)
  • 1/4 cabbage, chopped
  • 4 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 6 Tbsp tamari
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • Sesame seeds and chopped up cucumber as a garnish

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water if desired, and add the soba noodles and cabbage. Cook according to package directions (usually about 4 minutes).

While it’s cooking, combine the toasted sesame oil, tamari, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl.

Drain the noodles and cabbage, mix in the sauce, garnish with sesame seeds and cucumber, and dig in!
