Directions
Soba Noodles Cold Rolls
- Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water.
- Fill a large wide bowl with very warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water and allow it to soften for a few seconds then carefully remove it from the water.
- Top the wrapper with a piece of lettuce, a small handful of the soba, a few pieces of tofu, peach or mango, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
- Fold in the edges of the wrapper and roll up like a burrito, pressing the edge to seal. Set aside into a reusable container lined with a damp paper towel. Continue with remaining wrappers and ingredients.
Spicy Sesame Sauce
- Whisk together lime juice, sriracha, soy sauce, honey, ginger sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Set aside for serving.
Serve
- Store the rolls and sauce in resealable containers in the fridge until ready to serve or portion out for lunch.
- Cut the rolls in half just before serving with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
TIP: Feel free to swap out the vegetables and protein with whatever you have in the fridge. Thinly sliced bell peppers, cabbage, fennel, and pea shoots would be great along with thinly sliced chicken or beef or flaked salmon but any crunchy veg and cooked protein would be delicious.
