If you aren't familiar with soba noodles, they are made from buckwheat which is rich in fiber, packed with protein, a prebiotic, and is an anti-inflammatory making it great for the digestive system, which of course equals healthy happy skin.

Ingredients:

1 9.5 oz package organic soba noodles

2 tbls toasted sesame oil

3 tbls coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

2 tbls rice vinegar

2 tbls tahini

1 tbls peanut, almond or cashew butter

1 tbls maple syrup

1 tbls grated ginger

2 cloves garlic minced

2 tsp dried chili flakes

1 cup chopped raw broccoli

1 small cucumber chopped into matchsticks

Cilantro

How To:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 4 minutes(no salt). They should retain a hint of chewiness. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with a splash of sesame oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sesame oil, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, tahini, peanut butter, maple syrup, ginger, garlic and chili flakes.
  3. Pour the sauce over the noodles and the broccoli and toss. Serve into dishes and some of the rest of the ingredients to each bowl. Squeeze lime over and ENJOY!
