VEGETABLE SOBA NOODLE SALAD
This salad is fantastic served at room temperature or chilled. It's a perfect addition to a buffet or a main dish. It may be vegan, but it lacks nothing when it comes to flavor. The sauteed shiitakes add a wonderful umami flavor and the chile oil a touch of heat. Of course you can always add various kinds of protein. One of my favorite additions is grilled and sliced hanger steak. Like I said, it's not necessary, but it's up to you. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook the soba noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package instructions. (I prefer my soba noodles to be al dente, so I usually check the noodles one minute before the recommended doneness.) Rinse the noodles in cold water and drain for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and continue cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more oil as needed. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside.
- Make the salad dressing: Mix the rice vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, chile oil, garlic, ginger, and the remaining 4 tablespoons sunflower oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place the drained noodles in a large bowl along with the mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, scallions and 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the noodles and mix well until the dressing is evenly distributed. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top before serving.
SOBA SALAD
For most people, even experienced cooks, weeknight dinners are not so much a result of careful planning but of what's on hand - and what can be accomplished fairly quickly. Noodles of all kinds are easy and beloved. But soba noodles, a Japanese staple, are special: they usually take no more than 3 to 4 minutes to cook and, because they're made from buckwheat, have a slightly firm texture and a nutty flavor. Traditionally, soba are served hot and cold, making them a flexible partner for almost any fresh ingredients you have in the kitchen. In this case, they are paired with shelled frozen edamame, carrots and spinach and a light dressing.

VEGAN SOBA NOODLE SALAD WITH SESAME AND CITRUS
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.

SOBA SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING
Superfast veggie dinner or side dish. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the Minimalist, from the October 1 2009 NY Times. He's not sure whether to call this a warm salad or a room-temperature noodle dish. I love edamame beans, and buying them frozen is fine for this dish. Pick up a bag of pre-washed spinach for this too. Tossing the spinach with the warm noodles and veggies should wilt the spinach, or stir fry them together in a little water to wilt a bit more. Soba noodles are a staple of Japan. They have a slightly firm texture and nutty flavor.
