Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 small skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 bunch Tuscan kale
8 Brussels sprouts (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
6 ounces soba noodles
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled ginger, plus 1 tablespoon brine
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 small clove garlic, grated
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add skin-side down to the skillet. Cook, moving the chicken occasionally, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

  • Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and run under cold water until cool, then add to the vegetables.
  • Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, the pickled ginger and brine, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the noodle mixture; toss well. Add half of the sesame seeds and toss; season with salt and pepper. Divide the noodle mixture and chicken among plates; sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds.

CHICKEN AND MANGO SOBA SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING



Chicken and Mango Soba Salad With Peanut Dressing image

Japanese buckwheat noodles are usually served cold or in a hot soup, but here, they're given a bright jolt of color and texture. Delightfully chewy soba noodles are combined with chicken, mango, snap peas, cucumber and a spicy peanut dressing for a great warm-weather lunch that's also picnic-friendly. Serve it alongside any grilled meat or fish, or leave the chicken out to make it vegetarian. To make this ahead, prepare all the salad components in advance, but wait until serving time to combine to keep flavors and textures vibrant.

VEGAN SOBA NOODLE SALAD WITH SESAME AND CITRUS



Vegan Soba Noodle Salad with Sesame and Citrus image

I was first introduced to soba noodles by my sister-in-law, who loves to make them with just tamari and green onion for seasoning. I like to use them in all kinds of vegan recipes, especially fresh salads with a flavorful dressing. Soba noodles are made with buckwheat, which is gluten-free and can be found in the Asian section of the grocery store, or Chinatown. The longer the dressing sits, the better it will be, so make it ahead of time if you can.
