Thai Style Soba Noodle Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, cook soba noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse noodles with cold water, and set aside.
• Pour sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and lime juice into a large bowl. Mix in lime zest, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes; stir until sugar dissolves. Toss in carrots, cilantro, and peanuts.
• Cut noodles into 3-inch lengths. Stir into dressing mixture. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Toss salad again before serving. If dry, splash with soy sauce and vinegar. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Drop in soba noodles and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain.
• Toss noodles with sesame oil in a medium bowl. Divide noodles evenly between the 5 containers.
• Top noodles with edamame, carrot, green onions, and cilantro, dividing them evenly between the 5 containers. Place lids on containers. Pour 1/4 cup peanut sauce into each dressing container. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Mix 1 dressing container with 1 serving of soba salad to serve.

Steps:

• Mix the fish sauce, tamarind, soy sauce and chili flakes. This will form the sauce that will give the salad its flavor; allow time to mellow in the open air.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the soba noodles; cook for 4 minutes (if not done, continue checking every 30 seconds); when the soba is just al dente, drain and spray with cold water; set in a colander to drain completely.
• In a skillet with high sides, add the vegetable oil and let it get very hot over medium-high heat; add the jalapeno and sauté for 3 minutes; add the ginger and sauté for 30 seconds; add the broth and continue cooking the ginger and jalapenos until the broth is gone (evaporates).
• Next, put the shrimp in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until they start to turn pink; pour in the sauce and continue to cook until the shrimp are completely cooked.
• Toss the noodles in the skillet; stir to coat and serve immediately.
