Quick Dinner: How To Make Cold Soba Noodles

September 19, 2012

I've been making these Cold Soba Noodles for years and they always attract new fans (even ones that are gluten-free). How good are they? Just ask some of my family and friends who make them all the time (or at least that's what they tell me). When my husband and I first started dating I think I made them weekly if not more. I can't say if they're the reason why he married me, but now that I've got kids and need to keep a few ready-to-eat dishes in the fridge at all times, these noodles are usually always on hand.

Cold Soba Noodles are beyond easy to make, perfect for a party (especially when you need to bring a dish big enough to serve a crowd), and I guarantee they'll be quite popular dish with both the younger and older sets alike!

    I have a soy intolerance. Can you recommend an alternative protein that would work cold? Would love to keep the dish vegetarian.

      You can leave out the tofu altogether and increase the veggies! I’m not sure what else you could use in place of the tofu that would be the same texture.

    My son is allergic to sesame, so I would have to use something other than sesame oil. Is sesame oil used simply for flavoring? What would you recommend as a substitution?

      It adds tons of flavor! You can absolutely leave it out, though!

    My girls are allergic to nuts. Can you suggest something other than peanut butter or almond butter?

      Sunflower seed butter! Tastes and acts just like peanut butter!

      The tofu is just a topping suggestion! You can leave it out all together if you’d like.
