Sesame-Ginger Soba Noodles

Sesame-Ginger Soba Noodles

There are several recipes and sauces that I prepare by feel instead of by measuring, simply because I’ve made them so many times. This sauce is one of those recipes, which I use in tofu dishes, stir frys or noodle dishes once or twice a week. I love using dark toasted sesame oil in this sauce—it imparts a complex and earthy flavor into whatever it’s put on, while the sharp bite of freshly grated ginger balances everything else out perfectly.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 TB dark toasted sesame oil
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 TB mirin (or broth)
  • 1 TB soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp agave nectar
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 serving of buckwheat noodles
  • 2 TB fresh kale, finely chopped
  • black and white sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a small saute pan over low heat. Throw in the sliced shallots and saute for about 4 minutes.
  2. Add in the minced garlic and grated ginger and saute for about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high. When it has sizzled for about a minute, add in the mirin or broth to deglaze the pan, then reduce the heat back down to low.
  3. Add in the soy sauce, vinegar, agave and sriracha and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. In another small pot, bring plenty of water to a boil. Add in the soba, stirring to prevent sticking, and boil for about 4 minutes. Test a noodle to make sure it’s ready before rinsing it thoroughly in a strainer under cold water.
  5. Toss the noodles with the sauce and sprinkle with the minced kale and sesame seeds. Serve by itself or with a side of simple sauteed tofu.

    Looks awesome! I make a really similar salad dressing, and i find it even better if you toast the sesame seeds right before you toss them in 🙂
