Soy Sauce-Green Onions-Vinegar Soba Buckwheat Noodles 凉拌荞麦面

I have used Soba (buckwheat) noodles for quite some time, more often in soups or sometimes simply dressed with ground sesame plus some kind of nut butter e.g. peanut butter or even almond butter.

With the nutty flavors inherent in buckwheat, soba noodles can also be prepared as a main dish without much dressing like this Soba Noodles and Mushrooms with Ginger-Green Onions.


Soba (buckwheat) noodles might be an old-timer in my kitchen but Cha Soba (soba noodles typically made of buckwheat flour, wheat flour and green tea - most often green tea powder) is a new addition. The hint of green tea flavor in nutty buckwheat is definitely an interesting surprise.


This Soy and Green Onion Cha Soba can be put together very quickly and if you like, pair it with a side dish e.g. Chicken Teriyaki, Grilled Yellowtail Collar (Hamachi Kama).
