- Add the canola oil and heat until shimmering then add the chopped green onions.
- Cook, stirring, for 15 to 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the soy and sesame mixture and cook for 30 seconds,
- Add the noodles and toss until the noodles are heated through. Add the remaining minced green onion and half of the sesame seeds.
- Garnish with the remaining seeds and serve warm or at room temperature.
Serve it hot or cold. This is probably the most distinctive particularity with soba noodles. You can eat them hot, sautéed with veggies, or cold as a salad.
Add a vegetarian protein such as tofu, prawns, cubed rump steak to make the dish more nutritious and filling.
It’s a wonderful addition to these sesame soba noodles and add a touch of green.
Replace soba with rice noodles. The ginger soy sauce works perfectly with rice noodles too, so feel free to explore around.
