Buckwheat Noodle Salad
Serves 5 | Prep Time 10 minutes | Cook Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
• 8 ounces Eden 100% Soba (Buckwheat Pasta), or any Soba
• 2 tsp Eden Wakame Flakes
• 1/4 cup Eden Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms
• 2 Tbsp red onion, finely minced
• 1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup snow peas, stems removed, blanched 1 minute
• 1 cup carrots, julienned, blanched 1 minute
• 2 Tbsp fresh ginger root, finely grated
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce, or to taste
Directions
Bring two quarts of water to a boil in a soup pot. When cooking 100% soba, it foams up. Make sure the soup pot is tall. Place the soba, wakame flakes and shiitake in the pot. Bring to a boil again. Turn the flame to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes or until the soba is tender. Do not boil the soba rapidly or over cook as they tend to fall apart easily. When done, pour into a colander, rinse thoroughly with cold water and drain. Place in a mixing bowl with the vegetables. Mix the water in a small bowl with the shoyu soy sauce and ginger. Pour over the soba and vegetables and toss to mix. Serve room temperature or chilled.
