Ingredients

  • 200 gram soba noodles
  • 1 piece kombu
  • 2 Tbsp tamari
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger juiced (optional)
  • 1 cup carrot grated or julienned
  • 1 cup bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber julienned
  • 2 Tbsp green onion chopped
  • 1 cup kale or spinach or lettuce, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup avocado thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Start the soba noodles first, by putting them in a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt. Keep it at a low boil, turning down the heat and adding cool water if necessary to keep it just below a rolling boil. These will take about 6-7 minutes to cook, and you can stir occasionally to make sure they don't stick to each other or the bottom of the pot.
  • Next, start a small amount of water (about half a cuboiling in a small pot, and add the kombu. Turn this down to simmer and cover with a lid.
  • Third, heat a pan to medium-high, and saute the carrots with water, broth or olive or un-toasted sesame oil. Once the carrots have softened lightly, add the red pepper. Then add the cucumber and green onion last, to warm for a minute, before turning off the heat. Season the vegetables with a sprinkle of tamari in the pan.
  • Go back to the kombu broth, and take the kombu out of the water. Stir in as much or little tamari as you like to taste, along with a sprinkle of toasted sesame oil. Add some fresh ginger juice if you like, for an added flavor kick.
  • Arrange everything in a bowl, starting with a layer of chopped kale or spinach (for hot noodleor lettuce (for cold noodleif you like, then the noodles drizzled with some of the kombu broth, then the vegetables.
  • Top with the sliced avocado and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

A lovely pair to this dish would be some steamed edamame beans, sprinkled with sea salt and lime juice, or some sauteed tempeh or tofu, like this curry-tamari tempeh.

    This was a delisious simple meal! I especially loved the dashi sauce, which is something I never would have considered. I also never considered heating up cucumbers! I added the left over dashi to the leftover noodle, and expect they will be super tasty tomorrow. I also like that fact that you can add whatever veggies you have on hand, I added snap peas (as well as a bit of gochujang). Thanks once again Heather for creating a wonderful yet easy meal!
