Soba Noodles

Makes 2 servings. 

These are traditional Japanese buckwheat noodles, which I serve at room temperature dressed with an uncooked, well-seasoned sauce. This dish pairs very well with salmon, meat and poultry.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, including most of the green parts

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 generous teaspoon light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • Kosher salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 7 ounces soba noodles

PREPARATION:

  1. In a medium bowl combine the scallions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, salt and pepper. 

  2. Cook the noodles in a large pot of salted water, stirring from time to time, for about 7 minutes or until tender. Drain, rinse with cool water, drain again, and toss well with the dressing.   

  3.  Let stand for 10 minutes and season again.
