Spicy Orange Soba Noodles

Recipe created by Susan Feniger

Silky buckwheat soba noodles are tossed in spicy orange-sesame dressing with a sprinkle of scallions and sesame seeds.

Servings: Serves 4–6

Ingredients:

1 package (8 ounces) soba noodles
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. hot sesame oil
1/2 cup chopped scallions
Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain, rinse in cold water until cool, and drain again.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring orange juice to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer gently until syrupy and reduced by half, about 15 minutes.

Combine orange syrup, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and oil in a blender and mix; transfer to a large bowl. Add noodles and scallions; toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
