Soba Noodles With Salmon

Soba Noodles with Salmon in Ginger Sauce, one of those super quick meals that get ready in less than 15 minutes of cooking time. I prepare soba noodles quite often and always keep it simple. Tossed together with some greens or proteins in a zingy sauce.

I have quite a few soba noodles recipes up on the blog. But, it’s never enough for me.

The nutty buckwheat flavor, the gorgeous hew of brown and that firm texture makes soba noodles my absolute favorite of all.

Soba Noodles with Salmon 

This soba noodles with salmon happened without any planning. It was more of a way to finish those little bits from a big salmon fillet that always gets trimmed off when I want perfectly sized tiny fillets.

I save those tiny bits for meals such as this. It takes two minutes to cook soba noodles. And in the same 2 minutes, the salmon bites get perfectly cooked as well.

The Soya Sauce Ginger Dressing

When it comes to soba noodles, I almost always go for a soya sauce gingery dressing.

I love the salty, umami flavor, soya sauce adds to the whole meal and of course, the zest that you get from fresh ginger.

Couple handfuls of baby spinach or any other green just makes it more filling and vibrant in color. After all, we do eat with our eyes first!

If you are looking for a quick and flavorful meal for busy days, this is definitely one to consider.

Vegetarian Version 

If you are a vegetarian, you can switch salmon with tofu or some cauliflowers perhaps.

When cooking Soba Noodles, just be careful to not over cook it. It rarely takes 2 minutes. If you overcook, it will turn into soggy and the dish will be ruined.

I like this dish warm but cold soba noodle is just as much delicious!
