Cool Spinach Noodles
No cook Japanese-inspired noodle dish.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mirin Japanese rice wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 8 ounces soba or other long slender pasta
- 8 ounces about 8 cups, loosely packed fresh spinach leaves, chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mirin, soy, rice vinegar and vegetable broth.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook soba or other noodles, taking them off the heat a minute before package directions indicate.
- Place fresh spinach leaves in a strainer in the sink. Pour hot noodles over and toss. Voila, now you don’t have to cook the spinach, the heat from the noodles will have done the trick.
- Drain pasta and noodles well and pour into a large bowl. Add mirin and soy sauce mixture and toss lightly to combine.
- Add desired Toppings. (see notes)
- Give a squeeze of lime to finish — not traditionally Japanese but way refreshing
Notes
Top with any or all
- Cubes of firm tofu
- toasted sesame seeds
- frizzled shallots
- shredded carrot

- shaved daikon
- chopped cilantro
