Ingredients

Main Ingredients

8 ounces soba noodles
1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 cup cucumber julienned
1 cup carrot shredded
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
2 tablespoons scallions sliced

Sesame Dressing

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes.
2 Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Set aside to cool.
3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, shredded carrot, chopped cilantro, and sliced scallions.
4 In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and toasted sesame seeds to make the dressing.
5 Add the cooled soba noodles to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the sesame dressing over the top.
6 Toss everything together gently until the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
7 Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with additional sesame seeds before serving if desired.
