Cold Noodles

This refreshing and flavorful buckwheat noodle bowl is a perfect balance of textures and tastes, combining chewy noodles with crisp vegetables and savory toppings. Start by soaking dried tofu and blanching it with mushrooms for a tender bite. Thinly sliced ingredients add vibrant color and crunch, while nutty buckwheat noodles—cooked al dente and rinsed for a springy texture—form the hearty base. A rich chicken broth enhances depth, and a zesty sauce of soy sauce, chili powder, sesame oil, and vinegar ties everything together with a spicy, tangy kick. Easy to assemble yet packed with umami, this dish is ideal for a light yet satisfying meal. Perfect for warm days or whenever you crave something fresh and wholesome!
