Sesame Soba Noodles

Sesame soba noodles, a comforting and nutritious dish. It's a simple vegan dinner recipe, ready in 15 minutes and made with just 8 ingredients.

Sesame soba noodles are one of my favorite Asian recipes. They're so delicious, comforting and healthy it's hard not to have them for dinner every night. It is a simple, tasty and nutritious meal.

Soba noodles are light, very easy to cook and give your dishes a very good nutty taste. They are also higher in fiber than regular pasta and contain more protein as well. Although you'll probably find them at any grocery store, if you don't you'll be able to get some at any Asian supermarket.

Besides, this dish is SO satisfying it really makes you feel good when you eat it. It's made with inexpensive, natural and easy-to-find ingredients, it's ready in 15 minutes and also satiating. The perfect simple vegan dinner!

To make it you just need a big bowl and a pot and you can add as many toppings as you'd like, such as baked tofu, veggies or even some spices. Feel free to eat it hot or cold, as it makes great leftovers too.

How to make sesame soba noodles - Step by step

• Mix all the ingredients but the noodles in a bowl until well combined (photo 1). Set aside.
• Cook the noodles according to package directions (photo 2).
• Drain the noodles. If you eat them cold, cool them down with water and mix with the sauce (photo 3).
• If you eat them hot, put them back into the pot, add the sauce and cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes.
• Serve it plain or with sesame seeds and some choped chives on top (photo 4).

Pro tips

• If you want to eat less sodium, use reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce or even use less of it and add some water or vegetable broth.
• If you don't eat soy at all, feel free to substitute the tamari or soy sauce with coconut aminos, or just add some salt to taste.
• Use any kind of vinegar.
• Sesame oil gives the noodles a very good taste, but you can replace it for any other type of oil. If you want to eat your noodles cold, I recommend you don't use coconut oil because it gets solidified at low temperatures.
• You can use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic and ginger root instead of ground ginger.
• Any other kind of syrup is a good substitute for maple syrup, as well as any other liquid sweetener.
• Feel free to omit the sesame seeds.
• If you can't find soba noodles, any kind of pasta like regular spaghetti will do.

How to serve sesame soba noodles

You can eat them with the toppings you prefer. I served them with chopped chives and some sesame seeds, but you could also add some spices and plenty of different veggies. Besides, if you want to incorporate more protein into your meal, eat your sesame soba noodles with tofu.
