Soba Noodle Vegan (Printable Version)

Bouncy soba noodles get mixed up with crunchy vegetables and a silky tahini-soy sauce—super easy and really tasty.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Salad Components

01 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
02 - 15 g fresh cilantro, chopped up
03 - 100 g cucumber, sliced really thin
04 - 100 g carrots, shredded and peeled
05 - 100 g red cabbage, shredded up
06 - 170 g soba noodles, buckwheat

→ Dressing

07 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
08 - 1 teaspoon minced garlic
09 - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or black rice vinegar
10 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
11 - 1 tablespoon peanut butter or tahini

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Add your soba noodles, shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and sesame seeds to a big bowl. Pour the dressing on top and toss everything together till the veggies and noodles are well mixed. It's ready to eat right away.
02 - Grab a little bowl and toss in the peanut butter or tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and some ground black pepper. Whisk it all up until it's totally smooth.
03 - Fill a big pot with water and let it start boiling over medium-high heat. Drop in the soba noodles and stir them around sometimes so they don’t stick. Cook them for about 7 to 8 minutes, or whatever the package says. When they're done, drain and rinse them under cold water to chill them and stop them from cooking more.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Keep your cilantro and cucumber out until right before eating so they stay nice and crisp.
02 - Stash leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days.
03 - Want more protein but keep it vegan? Throw in some chickpeas or tofu.
