Samphire & Soba Noodle Salad
This simple dish is cooling, soothing and surprisingly nutritious. It has that lovely 'of the sea' taste from the samphire, and is filling and satisfying.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 bunch soba noodles Soba noodles tend to come with a little pre-packed loop around them, enough for one serve
- 1 handful samphire make sure no big woody stems
- ½ cup peas frozen or fresh
For the Dressing
- 2 teaspoon Sweet White Mirin
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon mirin or white wine
- 2 teaspoon Ume plum seasoning Or light white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoon water
To serve
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
Instructions
- Boil a saucepan of water to the boil
- Add the noodles & simmer for 1 min
- Add the peas & simmer for 2 mins
- Add the samphire & simmer for barely 1 min
- Drain & rinse to refresh in cold water
- Meanwhile, whisk together all the dressing ingredients, tasting to check the balance. You want it to be a little tangy, a little salty & fairly sweet to balance with the salty samphire.
- To serve, toss the noodles & veggies with the dressing, then top with the spring onion & sesame seeds.
