What Ingredients are in Vibrant Tahini Soba Noodle Bowl?

When it comes to creating a vibrant and delicious meal that also looks like a work of art, the Vibrant Tahini Soba Noodle Bowl really takes the cake—if cake were made of fresh veggies and noodles, that is. It’s one of those colorful dishes that not only pleases your taste buds but your eyes as well. Loaded with fresh, crunchy vegetables and coated in that creamy tahini dressing, who wouldn’t want to dig into this bowl of joy?

And the best part? The ingredients are pretty straightforward and can be found in most grocery stores, so there’s no need to set off on a treasure hunt!

Here’s what you need to gather to make your own Vibrant Tahini Soba Noodle Bowl:

• 1/2 cup tahini
• 2 teaspoons tamari
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 8 ounces soba noodles
• 1 cup baby spinach, washed and trimmed
• 5 radishes, cleaned and trimmed
• 1/4 head red cabbage, cored and cut into 2-inch wedges
• 1 red pepper, cored and cut into quarters
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 4-inch pieces
• 1 cup edamame, shelled
• Cooked chicken (sliced) or shrimp (optional)
• Sliced green onions
• Fresh cilantro
• Chopped peanuts
• Sesame seeds
• Sliced jalapeño (for that extra kick)

Now, when it comes to ingredient considerations, you can really play around with this recipe. Not a fan of tahini? No problem! You could swap that out for almond butter or sunflower seed butter, and it would still be delicious.

Have a veggie that’s been hiding in the back of your fridge? Toss that in! You can’t really go wrong with a bowl like this. Plus, if you’re going fully plant-based, just skip the chicken or shrimp—it’s still hearty and filling with all those vibrant veggies and proteins from the edamame.

The only rule here is to make it your own and adjust according to your tastes. Who knew cooking could be this fun and liberating?

How to Make this Vibrant Tahini Soba Noodle Bowl

Alright, let’s plunge into the wonderful world of making a Vibrant Tahini Soba Noodle Bowl. Imagine sitting down to a hearty bowl of flavors and colors that not only looks good but also tastes divine.

First things first, grab that 1/2 cup of tahini. It’s like the superhero of your dressing, bringing a nutty richness that will make your taste buds sing. In a small bowl, whisk it together with 2 teaspoons of tamari, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, 1 tablespoon of zesty lime juice, and a drizzle of 1 tablespoon of honey.

Now, here comes the trick: add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until your dressing is smooth and just the right consistency for drizzling. Set that delectable concoction aside, because it’s about to work its magic.

Next up, let’s make some vegetable confetti! Attach the Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment to your KitchenAid Stand Mixer. It sounds fancy, doesn’t it? Fill the feed tube with the 5 cleaned and trimmed radishes—those vibrant beauties—and turn it on. You’ll want to set the speed to 5 for those perfectly sliced rounds.

Once the radishes are waiting in a large bowl, it’s time for the 1/4 head of red cabbage and the sliced red pepper. They’ll be sliced in a similar fashion, giving you an amazing array of colors and crunch! Now, switch to the coarse shredding blade and add in 4 peeled carrots, turning that stand mixer back on to speed 4. Just like that, you have the base of your bowl ready to go!

Don’t forget about those soba noodles. Take 8 ounces and cook them according to the package directions—easy peasy. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cool water to stop the cooking process. Toss those noodles with about half of your tahini dressing; they’ll be oh-so-happy to soak it all in.

Grab four large bowls and divide the soba noodles equally among them. Now, pile on the vibrant veggie mix: 1 cup of baby spinach, those sliced radishes, shredded carrots, red cabbage, and the quarters of red pepper, along with a cup of shelled edamame.

But wait, it’s not finished yet! Give it a good garnish of cooked chicken or shrimp, sprinkle on some sliced green onions, cilantro, chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and jalapeño slices.

And voilà, there you have it—a beautifully vibrant Tahini Soba Noodle Bowl that’s ready to impress!
