Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

Tahini-Miso Dressing:
1/4 cup tahini paste
3 1/2 tablespoons organic red miso paste
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (depending on how hot you like it)
Noodle salad:
1 (8- to 9.5-ounce) pack dried soba noodles
1 cup thin jicama matchsticks
2 cups baby spinach
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
2 tablespoons gomashio, plus more as needed

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, cook the soba noodles in boiling water, as directed on your package.
Make the dressing: Put the tahini paste, miso paste, rice vinegar, and sriracha in a large bowl. Whisk well.
Drain the cooked noodles and rinse under cold running water; set aside in the colander. (Quick tip: To keep your noodles from clumping together, rub the noodles together when rinsing under cold running water to wash away excess starch. This will also make sure your noodles maintain a perfect texture.)
Add your drained and cooled soba noodles to the dressing bowl and toss.
Add the jicama and baby spinach; mix well. Top off the soba noodles with avocado slices and gomashio.
To serve, twirl the noodles using tongs and place in individual serving bowls.

Ingredients

⅔ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
½ cup sesame oil
½ cup sesame tahini
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

Steps:

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. Remove soy sauce from the heat and stir in molasses.
Whisk sesame oil, tahini, balsamic vinegar, and chili oil together in a medium mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in soy sauce mixture. Stir in 1/2 of the scallions.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
Combine noodles and sauce. Sprinkle remaining scallions and sesame seeds over top and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Tahini and avocado are a great base for a sauce, but you can add other ingredients to create a unique flavor profile. For example, you could add some lemon juice or lime zest for a citrusy kick, or some Sriracha or chili powder for a spicy kick.
Make sure your soba noodles are cooked al dente. This means that they should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
Serve your dish immediately. This will ensure that the noodles are still warm and the sauce is still creamy.

Conclusion:

This spicy tahini and avocado soba noodle dish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The creamy sauce is packed with flavor, and the soba noodles are a good source of fiber and protein. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
