Sesame Soba Noodles

Yep, it's yet another recipe from Annie's Eats. I think I might be addicted to her blog, and her recipes! Seriously. Go check her blog out right now, and then come back to mine. :)

This recipe is super ridiculously easy, and super tasty. Yet it's healthy, too! You can't beat it! We enjoyed this for dinner, and lunch the next day, and I also had a little bit left over that I tossed with regular green salad for a quick snack.

Sesame Soba Noodles

Ingredients:

For the dressing:

½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp. sesame oil

2 tbsp. canola oil (I used olive oil)

2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

4 green onions, chopped

¼ cup cilantro, chopped

For the salad:

1 lb. soba noodles (or whole wheat pasta)

1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced thin

1 cup shredded red cabbage

2 carrots, peeled and shredded

1½ cups edemame, shelled and cooked (I used frozen)

Toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Directions:

To make the dressing, combine the soy sauce, sesame and canola oils, vinegar, garlic, green onions and cilantro in a small bowl. Whisk well to blend.

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain well and rinse with cold water. Transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and toss well so the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the dressing. Serve cold or at room temperature and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
