Soba Salad

[Guest guest]

I get my soba noodles at Krogers. They are in the

veggie refrigerated section. Since we were talking

about Soba Noodles, here is another recipes.

Soba Salad

6 oz soba, (Japanese buckwheat noodles)

1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

1 medium red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin

strips

1/2 English cucumber, (8 oz) seeded and cut into

1/8-inch-thick matchsticks

1/2 lb jicama, (1/2 medium) peeled and cut into

1/8-inch-thick matchsticks

2 oz mizuma, or chopped trimmed baby mustard greens (2

cups)

4 scallions, cut into 3-inch-long julienne strips

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

 

 

Bring 4 quarts salted water to a rolling boil in a 5-

to 6-quart pot over moderately high heat. Stir in

noodles and 1/2 cup cold water. When water returns to

a boil, add another 1/2 cup cold water and bring to a

boil again, then repeat procedure once more. Test

noodles for doneness (soba should be just tender but

still firm and chewy throughout). Drain noodles in a

colander and rinse well under cold water, then drain

again, thoroughly. Toss noodles with sesame oil in a

large bowl.

 

Toss together remaining ingredients in another bowl,

then add to noodles and toss again to combine. Each

serving contains about 122 calories and 1 gram fat.

 

Makes 6 servings.

ChupaNote: This is an old favorite and a great way to

clean out the fridge. Toss all the leftover bits and

pieces into this salad, they work fine. If you don't

live anywhere near an Asian or fine vegetable produce

store, use Dole's Spring Greens package. If you've a

garden, a mix of mustard greens, nappa cabbage and red

cabbage is lovely. Double the sesame oil, and rice

vingegar. Add 1 T. soy sauce to dressing with 1 t. red

pepper flakes.

Oh yea, and the soba noodles at Wal Mart didn't have buckwheat in

them unless buckwheat is just regular wheat...
