Ginger Noodles

drbecca26's Note:

This comes from Turn off the Fat Genes by Dr. Neal Barnard. I love cold soba noodles, so this doesn't feel like a diet recipe to me...just really yummy food. Try to eat this on the same day you make it, as cooked soba will be a bit mealy on day two, not very yummy. Note: I have never used the optional cilantro, so I have no comment on how this tastes with that added.

• Total Time: 18 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 (8 ounce) package soba noodles (I like to use 100% buckwheat)
• 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2-1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 green onions, finely chopped, including tops
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions:

1. Cook noodles in boiling water according to package directions. When tender, drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Mix all the remaining ingredients, then pour over the noodles and toss to mix.

This is very tasty with a strong Asian flavor. I normally have my soba noodles warm so this was a nice change. I made as posted, including the cilantro. I like that it is low in calories and fat. Thanks for posting. :)

This made a delicious, healthy and filling lunch! I used a green chili pepper (including the seeds), otherwise made as stated. Yum! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2009.

This recipe was great. I made it cold to compliment some warm miso soup.
