Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Soba noodles
- 1 cup Edamame (shelled)
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Red cabbage
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 2 tablespoons White miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, usually 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Blanch the edamame in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Peel and julienne the carrot. Julienne the cucumber as well. Thinly shred the red cabbage and chop the scallions into small rounds. Set all prepared vegetables aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), grated ginger, and water until you have a smooth dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, blanched edamame, carrot, cucumber, red cabbage, and scallions.
Pour the miso dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
Transfer the soba salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a refreshing cold salad.
