Ingredients
- 5 oz. (150 gm.) soba noodle, or any noodle you like
- 1 cup chopped green beans
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 small cucumber (chopped)
- 1 cup red cabbage (shredded)
- 1/4 cup green onion (chopped)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame
Instructions
- Set a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 4-5 cups of water + salt and bring it to a boil.
- Add noodles and **undercook** by around 2 minutes (according to the package instructions).
- Add green beans + frozen peas and cook for 2 minutes (or until the noodles are done). We want the beans to be 'just crunchy' so 2 minutes is more than enough.
- Turn off the heat. Using a sieve, immediately transfer everything to a bowl-ful of ice-cold water. Set aside.
- Time to prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, add all the dressing ingredients - tahini + garlic + ginger + maple syrup + soy sauce + rice vinegar + toasted sesame oil + extra virgin olive oil + pepper + lemon juice.
- Using a whisker, combine everything until thick and creamy. Add 2 tablespoons of water and combine again until smooth. You can adjust this water content to your liking. Set aside.
- Back to the noodles. Drain and transfer the noodles onto a large bowl. Add cucumber + red cabbage + green onion + cilantro + toasted sesame.
- Next, add the dressing and gently mix everything using tongs.
- That's it, cold tahini noodle salad is ready. Plate up, and enjoy!
