If you recall my miso soup recipe, you'll recall that I used soba noodles. Soba noodles are noodles that are made from buckwheat flour and have a mild, nutty flavor. If you follow a gluten free diet, make sure that you choose pure buckwheat soba noodles because they will not contain wheat and are considered gluten free. Regular buckwheat noodles are sometimes made with wheat, but if you don't follow a gluten free or low FODMAP diet, these are fine.
This recipe comes together so quickly, so it's perfect for a work night. The nutty flavor of the noodles mixed with the citrus in the dressing is the perfect combination. In fact, if you love the dressing, you can make it up, store it in the refrigerator, and use it as a dressing for salads.
