Soba Salad

Soba is one of my family's favourite noodles and I usually make it when I am pressed for time and cannot cook a full Chinese meal with dishes and soup. 


This flavourful and easy to do Soba Salad from Gordan Ramsay was our dinner on a Sunday evening when we came home fairly late and I had to whip up something real quick. 


The mix of sauce gave the noodles and vegetables a lovely refreshing, yet light, flavours. I served this together with some sushi for a light and healthy Japanese dinner. 


Soba Salad (4 servings)
Recipe by Gordon Ramsay

Ingredients
  • 300g soba noodles
  • 100g kale, stalks removed, leaves shredded or torn (I used Chinese Kai Lan)
  • 150g sugarsnap peas, topped and tailed, halved lengthways (I replaced with frozen corn)
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into ribbons (use a vegetable peeler)
  • 2 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 3cm piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1–2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1–1½ tbsp soy sauce
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 sheet of nori seaweed, finely sliced (optional)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • White sesame seeds for topping (my own addition)
Method
  • Cook the soba noodles according to the packet instructions. When almost cooked, add the kale, sugarsnaps and carrots to the pan to blanch. Drain once the noodles are tender.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients to the noodle mixture, season with a little salt and pepper, stir well and serve.
