Sesame Basil Soba Noodles
There are times when I cook that I like to pack in every vegetable and also the kitchen sink. And then there are nights when I just crave something simple. This is the latter, obviously, and it’ll take you only ten minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 4-6 ounces soba noodles
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¾ cup fresh peas
- 1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce), more to taste
- 1 packed cup fresh basil
- ¼ - ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- big squeeze of lemon
Directions
- Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions (usually around 6-9 minutes). When they're done cooking, scoop out the soba noodles, leaving the water boiling for your peas. Drain the noodles and lightly rinse them. Place them in a large bowl and toss with the sesame oil. Set aside.
- Prepare a bowl of ice water and place it near your boiling pot of water. Boil the peas for about 1 minute, then drain and place into the ice water. Drain them well, then toss them into the bowl with the noodles.
- To your bowl, add tamari, basil, cheese, red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Toss and add more tamari to taste, squeezes of lemon and another grating of cheese.
