Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams soba noodles
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
- to taste salt
- as needed water (for boiling)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook soba noodles according to package instructions, usually 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to avoid sticking. Set aside.
In the meantime, prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Steam or blanch the broccoli for 4-5 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and fresh ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and optional red chili flakes to form the sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the steamed broccoli and the cooked soba noodles to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the noodles and broccoli, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles and broccoli are warmed through and coated in the sauce.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately, and enjoy this healthy, delicious dish on its own or as a side.
