Instructions

Notes

Rinsing the soba noodles helps prevent sticking and improves texture.Use almond butter or tahini for a different flavor variation.Add grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, or edamame for extra protein.Bell peppers, cabbage, and snap peas add extra crunch and color.For a spicier version, add sriracha, chili crisp, or extra red pepper flakes.If the noodles absorb too much sauce during storage, loosen with a splash of soy sauce or water before serving.
