Japanese Soba Noodle Salad (V)

A lovely simple salad here, that takes hardly any time to make. I have this regularly for lunch - its worth making a batch and putting it into cartons to take to the office. Its simple and refreshing in its simplicity and really is more than happy by itself. You can of course, add vegetables or a piece of grilled salmon too.

Soba is Japanese for buckwheat and the noodles are readily available. They are easy to digest and contain antioxidants, making them a healthy choice.

Ingredients:

250g Soba noodles
1 carrot, grated
1 birds eye chilli, seeds removed and sliced thinly
6 spring onions, sliced
25g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
1 tbsp. sesame seeds

juice of 2 small limes

1 tbsp. sesame oil

 

Cook the noodles as per packet instructions (about 6 minutes in boiling water) and drain. Put into a bowl and add the carrot, chilli, spring onions, coriander and sesame seeds.

 

Squeeze over the lime juice and stir through the sesame oil. Serve as it is. Delicious!

 

 

Note: A handful of fresh edamame beans would be a lovely addition!
