sesame soba noodles
17 May 09
Ingredients
(amounts are mostly approximations)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- an onion
- 1/4 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
- a sweet red pepper chopped as you like it
- one package (300g) soba noodles
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon demerara sugar
- the juice of 1/2 a lemon
Directions
If the sesame seeds aren’t toasted already, toast them.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Meanwhile. . . .
In a small bowl, mix the tahini, soy sauce, and sugar, and set aside. In a heavy bottomed pot, fry the onion and hot pepper flakes in sunflower oil until the onion is clear. Throw in the sweet red pepper and the sesame seeds for a couple minutes at the end. Finally, add the sauce mixture and bring to a low boil. With any luck, this will be the point at which the noodles are cooked and drained. Add the noodles to the pot, toss with the sauce, then finally add lemon juice and toss some more. Serves 4-6 (depending on whether you have anything else to eat).
Thanks to Jodi for the photo!

Comments on "sesame soba noodles"
I’d like to point out that I’m entirely to blame for this dish looking more oniony than it really is in the photo. It’s really just that I got served last and scraped out the bottom of the pot, and the onions were fried to such sweet perfection that I couldn’t leave any bits behind.
