A refreshing and flavorful soba noodle dish with a zesty dressing and crunchy toppings.
Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl to make the dressing.
Use freshly grated ginger for a more vibrant flavor.
Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
Rinsing the noodles in cold water stops the cooking process and prevents them from sticking.
In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the carrot, cucumber, peanuts, and green onion.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing the salad.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
