Soba Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Bring 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Separate the noodles and drop them into the boiling water, stirring once or twice. When the water begins to boil, add 1 cup of cold water. Repeat this procedure twice cooking until the noodles are just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water until completely cooled, rubbing gently with hands to remove all surface starch and drain well.
• Toss the noodles with the dressing and arrange the daikon, sprouts, onion, green onions, sesame seeds, and a dash of seven-spice powder over the top.
