Shaved Brussels Sprout, Carrot + Cabbage Soba Noodles

Serves 4

For the soba salad

• ¼ head green cabbage
• ¼ head red cabbage
• about 8 Brussels sprouts, bruised, outer layers removed
• 1 large carrot, sliced into matchsticks
• 8 oz buckwheat soba noodles
• 1 scallion, sliced
• handful sesame seeds, toasted

For the dressing

• 1 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and very finely minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons tamari
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• juice of half a lime
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• pinch of red pepper flakes

Preparation

1. Using a mandolin (if you have one) slice the cabbages and Brussels sprouts thin (or do it manually). Place in a large mixing bowl, add carrots and set aside.

2. To make the dressing: Add all the ingredients aside from the oils and mix to combine. Slowly drizzle in the oils until incorporated.

3. To make the soba: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a few pinches of salt and place soba in the water. Cook for 4-6 minutes (or according to package instructions) until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.

4. Bring it all together: Place the noodles in the bowl with the veggies, pour the dressing over and mix to combine. Season with sea salt if needed and top with scallions and sesame seeds.
