[Japanese Recipes] Green Tea Soba Noodle Salad

This simple Green Tea Soba Noodle Salad encapsulates spring with thinly julienned zucchini & radishes combined with cold soba noodles. Then dressed in a sweet and tangy dipping sauce, and topped with our Japanese Sesame Seasoning (Gomashio) - a blend of toasted sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, Himalayan pink salt, Aleppo chili flakes, and the mineral-rich, wild harvested nori flakes.

My absolute favorite soba (buckwheat) noodle is Cha Soba – soba noodles flavored with green tea leaves, giving them a light greenish hue and that fresh, natural taste of green tea. Cha Soba is generally limited to being served on special occasions in Japan, but with the wide availability now in the US, my special occasion is usually lunch…

If you can’t find Cha Soba, just use the normal soba noodles for this dish. In either case, cook them per the package instructions, then drain under running cold water. 

With the noodles to the side, make the homemade dressing from some of your basic Asian sauces – soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin (optional), and toasted sesame oil. Then a little honey to sweeten it, and lemon juice for a citrus touch. 

As the noodles can absorb the dressing easily and overly soften them, the trick is to serve the dipping sauce separately, only pouring it in and mixing it with the noodles right before eating. 

When the noodles, veggies, and dressing are well combined, garnish the Green Tea Soba Noodle Salad with our crunchy, savory Japanese Sesame Seasoning. Enjoy the dish on its own, or along with a bowl of miso soup or teriyaki salmon.
