Soba Noodles + Dipping Sauce

My bowl of noodles have all grown up with …

Soba Noodles and Dipping Sauce!

Gone are the days of my instant cup of Ramen noodles. 😉

Seriously, I think that these Soba noodles are my favorite go to, insta-meal. Although they aren’t exactly instant, they are quick and easy to prepare. I just make a double batch and keep it in the fridge so I can have it ready to go when I’m on the go.

Soba noodles are incredibly versatile and adaptable. To make this recipe more of a filling meal, pair it with cold roast beef, leftover rotisserie chicken, shrimp or duck.

The dipping sauce is one of those that I could drink straight up, almost. It’s definitely a must for the noodles, so don’t skimp on that dipping sauce.

If you really like your food with a bit more heat, just add some extra Sriracha sauce to the dipping sauce or even a few sliced red chili peppers. For my kids, I keep the heat on the low side, but they are slowly coming around.

Soba Noodles + Dipping Sauce, a perfect meal any day!
