Description
This sesame ginger soba noodle recipe is a healthy, convenient, and family-friendly meal, perfect for a quick yet satisfying dinner. Tender soba noodles are infused with bright ginger and savory sesame, making for a flavorful dish.
Ingredients
- 12 oz soba noodles
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce (low-sodium tamari or regular low-sodium soy sauce)
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced into threads for garnish
- Optional: 1 cup shredded cooked chicken or tofu
- Optional: 1 cup bell peppers, julienned
- Optional: 1 cup carrots, julienned
- Optional: 1 Tbsp oil (for sautéing protein/vegetables)
- Optional: toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package directions (typically 4-6 minutes) until al dente. Drain thoroughly and rinse immediately and generously with cold water to halt the cooking process and prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Whisk Sauce: While noodles cook, in a medium bowl, whisk together the grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and vegetable broth until smooth and well combined.
- Sauté (optional): If adding protein or vegetables, heat a large 10-inch skillet or wok over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add your chosen protein (like chicken or tofu) and sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden. Add julienned bell peppers and carrots, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant.
- Combine: Add the drained soba noodles to the skillet with the sautéed ingredients (or a large mixing bowl if not using optional additions). Pour the full sesame ginger sauce over the noodles and toss gently but thoroughly to coat every strand evenly.
- Garnish & Serve: Divide the finished soba noodle recipe among serving plates. Top generously with fresh scallion threads and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
To prevent noodles from sticking, ensure a thorough cold water rinse after draining. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or vegetable broth. Adjust flavor by adding more soy sauce for saltiness, maple syrup for sweetness, or rice vinegar for tang. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
