A fast, fresh and flavourful dish for summer - Soba Noodle Salad recipe by Nurture the Seed.

Method

1. Cook soba noodles in boiling water for 4 minutes (or as per packet instructions), adding the edamame for the last 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water and then drain again. Place the noodles and edamame in a salad bowl and drizzle with some sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking.

2. Meanwhile, toast the sesame and pumpkin/sunflower seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until golden. Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake to combine.

3. Add the vegetables and herbs to the noodles. Pour over the dressing and mix to combine. Sprinkle the seeds on top and serve.

This recipe is taken from Nurture the Seed – an ultimate nutrition guide for expecting mums. Nurture the Seed is filled with 35 nutrient-dense recipes that are fuss-free, delicious and suitable for the whole family.
