Creamy Spicy Sesame Soba

Ingredients for Creamy Spicy Sesame Soba Noodles

This recipe only calls for a few ingredients to make delicious Creamy Spicy Sesame Soba Noodles! Here is what you’ll need:

• 6 oz soba noodles – You can find a wide variety of fresh or dried soba noodles in any Asian market. These noodles are unique as they are made with buckwheat flour, so I wouldn’t recommend substituting them with any other type of noodle.
• 4 cloves garlic grated
• 1/2 tbsp ginger grated
• 1/2 tbsp gochugaru
• 2 scallions chopped
• 3 tbsp neutral oil
• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp sesame paste
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1/4 tsp msg
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Creamy Spicy Sesame Soba Noodles: Recipe Instructions

To begin, take a small heatproof bowl add gochugaru, grated garlic, grated ginger, and scallions. Heat 3 tbsp of neutral oil to 375F and carefully pour the hot oil onto the aromatics. Give them a stir and they should release their aroma. This is the base of our sauce!

Once the aromatic oil is made, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, mirin, msg sesame seeds and mix. The sauce should come out creamy like this.

Finally, boil your soba noodles according to package directions. Drain them then rinse under cold water or in an ice bath to shock the noodles and keep their bouncy, springy texture.

Combine the soba noodles with the sauce and you’re done! If the sauce is too thick, reserve some of the soba noodle cooking water to thin it out until you get the desired consistency. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds and enjoy!

Recipe Tips for Creamy Spicy Sesame Soba Noodles

SHOCK NOODLES IN COLD WATER

• If you are eating Cold Soba Noodles, it is imperative to stop the noodles from cooking once boiled, so run them under cold water or shock them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process! Otherwise, your noodles will continue to cook and then become mushy.

GARNISH

• You can garnish your soba noodles with freshly chopped scallions, roasted sesame seeds, grated radish, and grated wasabi!
