Yum! Followed recipe with one additional step. I placed the chopped broccoli into the collander and drained soba over broccoli. This provided just enough heat and steam to bring out the tenderness and vibrant green of the broccoli.

I couldn't believe it, but I couldn't find Soba noodles at all. I substituted spinach pasta, doubled most of the spices and added some chile garlic sauce and it was a wonderful meal. Next time I'll probably add tofu, too. Also, I steamed the veggies and used broccoli, mushrooms and green peppers. Yummy!

I did quite a bit to this recipe. I sauteed asparagus, carrot, and bell pepper. Then I added the sauce ingredients plus some fish sauce and some cooking wine.

This salad was tasty and fast. Next time I would add some julienned carrots and snap peas, and probably steam the broccoli lightly first. I also saw that someone else used honey instead of sugar, which makes the dressing less grainy - probably a good idea.

This is a good recipe to use as a starting point. I changed the veggies, used twice the dressing and added some sweet/hot thai chili sauce and peanut butter to get another layer of flavor. I will make it again.

Loved it. Doubled the sauce and used honey instead of sugar. Stuck to the recipe for everything else. Will definitely make this again.

This dressing is great. It's so light and can taste good with almost anything you add to it. I added cucumbers, pea shoots, tofu, sliced fish balls. I'll be making this often.

I loved this; I took others' advice and added some rice wine and rice vinegar. I also steamed the broccoli for a minute or two with a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil. In addition, I added some diced red pepper, which I also steamed for a minute. Instead of a large pot of water, I substituted vegetable broth for half of the water, and cooked the noodles in that. It was delicious.

I LOVE this, reminds me of a salad we had in the Deli I worked at. I used blanched julienned carrots and bell peppers and sugar snap peas, and omitted the broccoli. I toasted the sesame seeds on a low flame in a fry pan. I also doubled it for the leftovers.

I just made this recipe and I'm gonna' go make it again when I'm done with this bowl for work tomorrow. I substituted rice vinegar for the balsamic and finely diced onion since I didn't have the green. I also added a little garlic powder. Definitely try every vegetable but make sure they're dry. I blanched some green beans and the water in them diluted the dressing quite a lot. The way I just tore into this salad though, you'd think I had an 800# displayed across my chest to call and feed the hungry. I'm going to make more now.

we made it without the egg whites and it was still good!

It is an excellent cold noodle dish. I would recommend doubling the sauce recipe and lightly steaming the vegetables.

I was really craving a cold noodles dish and this is both delicious and healthy! I think the recipe ingredients may have changed at some point, as reviews stated that cookers subbed balsamic for the rice vinegar and vice versa. Anyway, with that in mind, I used 1T of balsamic, 2T of rice vinegar and 1T of rice wine (along with 5T soy sauce and 2T sesame seed oil, 1.5T sugar, a 2 cloves of garlic), as I doubled the sauce per many suggestions. This is a very versatile dish and any desired veggies can be added. I had leftover steamed zucchini, summer squash and red pepper and it went very well with the sauce and the noodles. I also added imitation crab to my individual serving (not to the whole dish, as it goes bad fairly quickly and I didn't want to ruin my leftovers!). The crab goes really well with the delicate taste. Great submission- thanks, Jessica!

I'm from Hawaii and have had tons of soba. This recipe is different and great! I added a sliced red pepper and used more broccoli. I steamed both slightly. Decreased sesame seeds to 1/3c, doubled soy, and added 1 tsp. hoisin and some crushed red pepper. Tasted okay warm but I let sit in the fridge and it made an awesome cold soba! Delicious. My husband stopped in from work today just to have a bowl. Even my 14 month old will eat the noodles, which is miraculous. Thank you!
