A fresh, crunchy glow-food bowl from Natalie’s kitchen — chilled soba noodles tossed with sesame, ginger, crisp vegetables, and the kind of flavor that somehow gets even better the next day.
This is one of those recipes I start craving the second the weather begins warming up.
Cold noodles. Crisp vegetables. Bright lime. Creamy sesame dressing. A little heat from chili flakes.

And if you’ve never tried soba noodles before, this is such a good place to start.
They have this wonderful earthy flavor and soft chewy texture that pairs beautifully with crunchy vegetables and creamy sesame dressing.

Optional additions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the soba noodles and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. They should still have a slight chewiness.
Drain and rinse immediately under cold water, then toss lightly with a splash of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, tahini, nut butter, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the noodles and broccoli and toss well.
Divide into bowls and top with carrots, cucumber, cilantro, green onion, sesame seeds, and fresh lime wedges.
Squeeze lime over just before serving.
Best enjoyed chilled.
