Tangy Soba Noodle Bowl
The Tangy Soba Noodle Bowl combines buckwheat soba noodles with broccoli, edamame, and julienned carrots, topped with a lemony miso dressing and hemp hearts. The dish balances textures from tender noodles and crisp vegetables, with a bright and slightly spicy dressing that adds tang and depth, making it a flavorful and nutritious bowl meal.
Ingredients
For The Lemon Dressing
- ⅓ cup miso paste
- 2.5 tbs rice vinegar
- ⅓ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
For The Bowls
- 1 tbs neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 4 rolls soba noodles (buckwheat noodles)
- 2 cups broccoli chopped
- 1 cup edamame frozen & shelled
- 3 carrot carrots
- 2 green onions
Toppins
- ⅓ cup hemp hearts
- 1 tbs lemon optional, zest
Instructions
- Make the sauce by combining everything into a mini food processor until smooth.
- Do your prep. Chop the broccoli into small florets and julienne the carrots. Get your water started for the noodles (add a dash of salt to the water to avoid boiling over).
- In a saucepan, heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium to high heat. Add in the carrots, edamame, and broccoli. Cover with a lid and cook 5-6 minutes until vegetables are somewhat tender (you still want a bit of crunch!).
- Cook the soba noodles as per the package and strain when finished. Pour one tablespoon of the sauce over the soba noodles so that they don't stick together.
- Divide the noodles into four bowls. Top the noodles with the vegetable mixture and then with the sauce.
- Finish by adding the hemp hearts, green onions, and lemon zest to each bowl.
Notes
- Julienne carrots so they cook evenly alongside broccoli and edamame.
- Cook soba noodles on medium-low heat to prevent boiling over; they cook quickly within about four minutes.
- Add some dressing immediately to cooked noodles to keep them from sticking together.
- Assemble bowls individually rather than tossing all ingredients together to avoid sticky noodle clumping.
- Apple cider vinegar can replace rice vinegar; tahini can substitute for miso paste if needed.
