I went blueberry picking (again) on Saturday. Surprise, surprise.
As I picked, I ate some blueberries and listened to the newest episode of the Joy the Baker podcast. And then ate some more blueberries. I just couldn’t resist the perfectly ripe babies.
12.6 pounds of blueberries and two podcasts later, I lugged my treasure to the car, my skirt sticking to my legs from the heat and humidity. I headed to the grocery store with one goal in mind: a cold, refreshing soba noodle salad.
I never would have thought of it if I hadn’t listened to the podcast. I don’t think I had ever even had soba noodles before. And now I’m a total soba noodle convert.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces soba noodles
- 4 cups water
- 2 medium zucchini
- 4 small bell peppers
- 1/3 medium red onion
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- Sesame seeds, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and chop the zucchini, peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces.
- In a covered medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the noodles and allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Drain the noodles and rinse in cold water until the noodles are cool to the touch.
- Toss the soba noodles, vegetables and sauce, then top with sesame seeds.
