Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the julienned carrots, thinly sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
- For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the cooked soba noodles and vegetable mixture. Toss until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
- Optional: For a protein-packed variation, add grilled chicken or tofu cubes to the salad.
