Spicy Tahini And Avocado Soba Recipes

SPICY TAHINI AND AVOCADO SOBA

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, cook the soba noodles in boiling water, as directed on your package.
• Make the dressing: Put the tahini paste, miso paste, rice vinegar, and sriracha in a large bowl. Whisk well.
• Drain the cooked noodles and rinse under cold running water; set aside in the colander. (Quick tip: To keep your noodles from clumping together, rub the noodles together when rinsing under cold running water to wash away excess starch. This will also make sure your noodles maintain a perfect texture.)
• Add your drained and cooled soba noodles to the dressing bowl and toss.
• Add the jicama and baby spinach; mix well. Top off the soba noodles with avocado slices and gomashio.
• To serve, twirl the noodles using tongs and place in individual serving bowls.

SPICY COLD SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring soy sauce to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove soy sauce from the heat and stir in molasses.
• Whisk sesame oil, tahini, balsamic vinegar, and chili oil together in a medium mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in soy sauce mixture. Stir in 1/2 of the scallions.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
• Combine noodles and sauce. Sprinkle remaining scallions and sesame seeds over top and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.
