 In a search of healthy pasta I wondered into one of the health food stores, and my attention was driven to the cute packages of brownish and grayish bundles of thin pasta. I started reading labels and suddenly felt a strange nostalgic twitch – the word “Buckwheat” was familiar and comforting, like your Grandma’s hands. But here it was neighboring a foreign word “Soba”. Intrigued, I bought a package of three little neat bundles and decided to play the second word’s party- Asian flavors would be assigned to these babies. Here is the result: judge for yourself. We like it a lot and now my pantry always has these noble like samurai Japanese noodles.



1/3 package of buckwheat soba noodles (or any other soba noodles)*
2 tablespoons soy sauce or liquid aminos
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
1-2 garlic cloves, smashed with a knife and finely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2-3 scallions, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Cook noodles according to the instruction on the package until al dente.
Meanwhile, mix all ingredients, except sesame seeds, in a bowl. Pour mixture over cooked noodles and stir. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
* Try also black bean noodles!
