This was delicious. Better than I expected. I used red miso, like another reader, as it was all I had. I did add a little maple syrup to sweeten my dressing a bit to my taste. Loved the al dente soba noodles mixed with the crunch of the peas and cabbage and the earthiness of the mushrooms! Also love that this recipe would be so easy to adapt, depending on what veg you have on hand or what’s in season! It’s super easy to prep the dressing and the veg ahead of time and then just cook your noodles when you are ready to go. My noodles only needed to boil for 3 minutes, then I rinsed them in cold water and then plunged them into ice water for a few minutes. Apparently this can give them some chew? Served my salad cold. I was so worried my noodles would turn mushy but they were a really good texture! Took your advice and used the wheat flour and buckwheat flour ingredient noodles!
Thanks for the great recipe and the great inspiration for us to try something totally NEW!

This was delish! Made it with red miso because that’s what I had. The oranges made this next level. Used the sauce sparingly as recommended. A lot of chopping but nothing a little weekly prep can’t accomplish- besides eating fresh means a little more prep. Our bodies thank us. We loved it! Will definitely make it again.

I don’t understand the orange juice part. Can you tell me more? How much oj is there after squeezing the scraps leftover from segmenting?

This was okay….something about the sauce kind of didnt…sit well with the noodles. Red cabbage already has a nutty, earthy smell and flavor so combined with the soba and the sauce there was just something off here. The second time I made it I made it with brown rice and it held better. And in the fridge better.

I love, love, love this! I made a few modifications: didn’t add in the oranges, added in carrots and cooked them with the mushrooms, used chopped red onions in place of the green onions, threw in some shelled edamame in with the soba noodles while they were cooking, and added some peanut butter to this dressing. I made a few bowls of this for the week. I enjoy the texture of the baked tofu here too. YUM!

I made this for lunches and used whole wheat spaghetti noodles since TJs doesn’t sell soba and it worked very well!
