Soba Noodle Salad with Ginger and Carrot dressing

The perfect guide to an easy-to-make nutritious colourful Japanese noodle salad! 

Method (serves 2)

  •  Bring a pot of water to the boil and cook the noodles for 6-8 minutes. 

  • While the noodles are cooking, add a cup of cold water to the pot 2 or 3 times. This will improve the texture of the noodles.

  • Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water to stop them cooking further.

  • Mix with oil and place them in a bowl for serving. 

  • For the dressing, add the carrot, onion, peeled ginger, olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin and honey into a food processer. Liquidise until smooth.

  • Slice the tomatoes into bite size pieces, and add these and the salad leaves onto the noodles. 

  • Pour the dressing over, just before serving.
