Ingredients
8 ounces soba noodles
scant 1/4 cup regular soy sauce (or substitute tamari or coconut aminos)
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon miso (white or yellow; do not add generously, it will make the food very salty)
1 teaspoon grated garlic
4 green onions
Sriracha, to taste (optional)
Optional mix-ins to stir fry and then add to the sauce with the noodles: chicken, thinly sliced vegetables, the sky's the limit
Instructions
Cook the noodles: Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions: it should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Important: when the noodles are done cooking, rinse them under cool running water in a strainer, tossing them to remove the starch. Then shake off excess water. If you’d like the noodles to be warm when serving, run them under warm water for a few seconds; you can also serve room temperature or cold. (If you skip this step, the noodles soak up the sauce and become too dry.)
Whisk the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, miso (if using), and grated garlic.
Slice the onions: Thinly slice the green onions on the bias (diagonally), using both white and dark green parts.
Combine and serve: Return the rinsed and shaken dry noodles to the pan or a bowl; stir in the sauce and green onions. Place in serving bowls, top with sesame seeds and serve.
