Grilled Chicken and Sesame Soba Noodle Salad
Ingredients List
Sesame Dressing:
-
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
-
4 ounces buckwheat soba noodles
-
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
-
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin bite-size strips
-
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 rib celery, sliced (Optional)
-
1 carrot, sliced
-
½ red bell pepper, chopped
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, sesame oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, and grated ginger until the dressing is well blended.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and stir. Once the water returns to a boil, cook the noodles for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold running water for about 1 minute to cool them down.
Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breast pieces and cook until fully cooked through and juices run clear, about 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
In a large bowl, toss the soba noodles, cooked chicken, celery, carrots, red pepper, cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds with the dressing until well combined.

Chef's Tip
I prefer using yamaimo soba, a type of buckwheat soba noodles that incorporates yamaimo, a Japanese mountain yam, for added texture and flavor.
