Servings: 4
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- subheading: For the Noodles:
- 8 ounces soba noodles (about 2 bundles) or spaghetti noodles of choice
- 1 large or 2 small English cucumbers
- 1 bunch scallions (green onions), chopped (about ¾ cup chopped)
- 1 roasted sweet potato, chopped, skin on
- Some roasted cauliflower, small florets
- subheading: For the Dressing:
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon white miso (optional)
- 2 teaspoons reduced sodium tamari
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- handful fresh cilantro, chopped
- pinch red pepper flakes
- ⅓ to ½ cup water
- subheading: For Topping:
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (preferably black)
- sea salt, to taste
Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the soba noodles until al dente, according to package directions (do not overcook them!). Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Use a chef's knife, or better yet, a julienne peeler, to slice the cucumber into long, skinny strips. Toss the super seedy inside strips. Then you can slice the remainder into 3-inch long strips (as shown) or leave them long.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, rice vinegar, ginger, miso, tamari/soy sauce, sesame oil, cilantro and red pepper flakes. Once blended, whisk in water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Toss the soba noodles in the sesame-ginger sauce (depending on how saucy you like your noodles, you may have some sauce left over).
- Toss in the cucumber strips, scallions, sesame seeds and extra cilantro if desired. Season to taste with salt or additional tamari until the flavors really sing. Serve immediately.
