THE BEST Sesame Soba Noodles

This noodle side dish is delicious alongside meats and seafood, but it makes a great noodle bowl or light lunch with shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and more. Even better, you can serve it hot or cold.

Ingredients

10 ounces HemisFares Soba Air-Dried Buckwheat Noodles
⅓ cup soy sauce , regular or less sodium (see note below)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups green onions , chopped in ¼-inch pieces
½ cup green onions , minced
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles for 4-5 minutes or just until tender, stirring occasionally so the noodles don't clump. Drain in a colander and rinse well under cold water, tossing to remove the starch.
While the noodles are cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and heat until shimmering then add the chopped green onions. Cook, stirring, for 15 to 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the soy and sesame mixture and cook for 30 seconds, Add the noodles and toss until the noodles are heated through. Add the remaining minced green onion and half of the sesame seeds. Garnish with the remaining seeds and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

I use regular sodium sauce for this, but if you're sensitive to salt or are used to using the less sodium variety, I recommend that you use that.
