Although technically a recipe, this is so simple that I’d put it under the “not a recipe category”. This was inspired by a “recipe” I’d often do in culinary school, which was tossing soba noodles in a dash of shoyu and some toasted sesame oil. Toasted sesame oil has such a robust flavor that not much else is needed.
Although you could serve this warm, I prefer it cold. It’s refreshing yet filling because of the sesame oil and avocado, making it a perfect side for a summer lunch or dinner. I even have it as a snack sometime to hold me over in between meals. For a full meal, I recommend serving it with a pan seared fish, like this miso glazed salmon.
