Stewart's Secret

Always rinse your soba noodles under cold running water after boiling. This stops the cooking process and washes away excess starch, ensuring your noodles stay separate and have a clean, firm bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, but keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to keep the vegetables crisp.

Are soba noodles gluten-free?

Look for 100% buckwheat labels, as many commercial brands mix buckwheat with wheat flour.

What can I add for extra protein?

Edamame or grilled tofu work beautifully in this bowl.
