Ingredients

1/3 cup (80 ml) soy sauce
3 tbsp (45 ml) sesame oil
2 tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar
1 tbsp (15 ml) brown sugar or honey
1 tsp (5 ml) ginger paste
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) black pepper
10 oz (285 g) buckwheat (soba) noodles
1 tbsp (15 m) oil
2 bunch green onion finely chopped
2 tbsp (15 g) toasted sesame seeds
1 cup (25 g) crumbled roasted seaweed optional

Instructions

Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside. Chop green onion finely.
Cook your soba noodles according to the package directions (usually 3-4 minutes) When the water comes to a full boil, pour a little bit of cold water to calm the water down. Add more water as it boils up again. Rinse the noodles under cold running water to cool completely. Drain the noodles and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or skillet and saute half of the green onion for 30 seconds. Add the sauce and bring to boil and thicken for 15 seconds.
Add the noodles and the remaining green onion and toss through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and crumbled seaweed (if using) on top. Serve with fried dumplings, tofu, or grilled shrimp for a complete meal.
