Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 10 oz buckwheat (soba) noodles
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 bunch green onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup crumbled roasted seaweed optional
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside. Chop green onion finely.
- Cook your buckwheat noodles according to the package directions (usually 3-4 minutes) When the water comes to a full boil, pour a little bit of cold water to calm the water down. Add more water as it boils up again. This tempering helps the noodle texture to be chewier. Rinse the noodles under cold running water to cool completely. Drain the noodles and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok or skillet and saute half of the green onion for 30 seconds. Add the sauce and bring to boil and thicken for 15 seconds.
- Add the noodles and the remaining green onion and toss through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and crumbled seaweed (if using) on top.
