Ingredients

• 200 g soba noodles
• 150 g snow peas
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp ginger (fresh, grated)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onion (sliced thinly)
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 6-8 minutes). Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the snow peas by trimming the ends and stringing them if necessary. Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer immediately to an ice bath to maintain their crispness. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, blanched snow peas, and the sesame-soy dressing. Toss until everything is well coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the noodle mixture. Toss gently to incorporate.

Step 6

Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your Snow Peas and Soba Noodles as a light meal or a delicious side dish!
