Today’s Unique Creation: Green Tea Infused Soba Noodle Salad

Greetings, foodie friends! Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and innovative recipe that combines the earthy flavors of green tea with the delicate taste of soba noodles. This dish is perfect for a hot summer day when you’re craving something light, flavorful, and unique. Let’s dive into the ingredients and preparation process!

Ingredients:

• soba noodles (200g)
• green tea bags (2 bags)
• cucumber (100g, thinly sliced)
• avocado (1, diced)
• scallions (50g, thinly sliced)
• toasted sesame seeds (15g)
• soy sauce (30ml)
• rice vinegar (15ml)
• honey (10g)

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• kettle
• strainer
• mixing bowl
• whisk

To start, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the tea’s flavor. Remove the tea bags and add the soba noodles to the pot. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. When ready, drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey to create a tangy dressing. Add the cooled soba noodles to the bowl and toss them in the dressing until they are well coated. Next, gently fold in the cucumber slices, diced avocado, and sliced scallions, being careful not to mash the avocado.

To finish, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad for a nutty crunch and an extra layer of flavor. Give everything a final gentle toss to combine all the ingredients evenly. Your green tea infused soba noodle salad is now ready to be served!

This unique dish weighs approximately 800 grams once prepared, making around 4 servings. Each serving is about 200 grams and carries an estimated calorie count of 250 calories.

One clever tip to enhance the flavors of this salad is to let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. This allows the ingredients to meld together and the flavors to intensify, creating a more cohesive and delicious dish.

I encourage you to give this green tea infused soba noodle salad a try and feel free to add your own twist to it by incorporating your favorite veggies or protein options. Enjoy this refreshing dish and let your taste buds dance with delight!
