Ingredients
- 3 bags green tea bags
- 2 cups water
- 250 grams soba noodles
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic clove
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 medium cucumber
Directions
Step 1
Boil 2 cups of water and steep the green tea bags in the boiled water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring the green tea infusion to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Cook the soba noodles in the green tea water according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the soba noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 5
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
Step 6
Grate the fresh ginger and finely mince the garlic clove, then add them to the dressing.
Step 7
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the dressing along with the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
Step 8
Peel and julienne the cucumber, then add a sprinkle of salt to draw out excess water. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 9
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled soba noodles, cucumber, and dressing. Toss well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated.
Step 10
Serve the sugar-free green tea soba noodles in individual bowls, garnishing with extra green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
