These spicy cold soba noodles are my son's favorite snack! You can adjust the amount of heat by increasing or omitting the chili oil. They're a great side dish, or you can add tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons molasses

  • ½ cup sesame oil

  • ½ cup tahini paste

  • 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons chili oil, or more to taste

  • ½ cup sliced scallions, divided

  • 1 pound dried soba noodles

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Bring soy sauce to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Off heat, stir in molasses.

  2. Whisk sesame oil, tahini, balsamic vinegar, and chili oil together in a bowl; slowly whisk in soy sauce mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup scallions.

  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook soba in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Immediately drain; rinse thoroughly in cold water.

  4. Toss noodles and sauce together; sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup scallions and sesame seeds on top. Refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.
