Gingered Soba Noodles, Take Two!
Kid germs…they’ll get ya. I was so sick last week. So sick that I made this dish again, photographed it & never posted it. Oops. Glad I remembered, as I love this recipe & have been wanting to share it again….with better photos.
Gingered Garlic Soba Noodles with Steamed Broccoli
I love soba noodles, in fact, I prefer them over any pasta - semolina, wheat, brown rice, etc. I enjoy their rich flavor & hearty texture. I also love what is typically paired with them - asian sauces, herbs, spices, etc. But, they can be expensive, so when I found them on sale, I stocked up.
I used them to make this magical miso when I was easing off my cleanse & then again to nourish myself when I was feeling beyond sick, but I knew I had to eat. I had broccoli on hand from my last CSA share, as well as fresh herbs, garlic & ginger. These noodles were the only thing that sounded good to me…
