There’s nothing better than cold soba noodles in 90 degree weather! Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour, a whole grain, naturally high in fiber and protein.
Here’s one of my favorite Korean recipes for soba noodles. It’s soba noodles, topped with cold cucumber salad and kimchi.
I serve it with a couple of Banchan (I’ll be talking about this in my next post), the little side dishes integral to an authentic Korean meal.
