Step 1

Boil 4 cups of water in a medium pot. Remove from heat and steep the green tea bags in the hot water for about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing.

Step 5

Place the cooked and drained soba noodles in a large bowl. Add julienned carrots, julienned cucumber, and sliced green onions.

Pour the dressing over the soba noodle salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.

Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro just before serving.
