Ingredients
-
1 package (9.5 ounces) soba noodles
-
2 teaspoons coconut oil
-
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
2 cups broccoli florets
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 can (15 ounces) light coconut milk
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Optional Add-Ins
-
Cooked shrimp
-
Cooked chicken
Instructions
-
Cook the soba noodles. Prepare the noodles according to the package directions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
-
Sauté the aromatics. Heat the coconut oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring until fragrant.
-
Add the broccoli. Stir in the broccoli florets, kosher salt, and coconut milk.
-
Simmer the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still has a little bite.
-
Add the noodles. Transfer the cooked soba noodles to the coconut milk mixture. Toss gently until the noodles are thoroughly coated.
-
Finish with lime and cilantro. Stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
-
Serve warm. Divide into bowls and enjoy while the sauce is creamy.
Notes
-
Rinse the soba noodles: Rinsing with cold water removes excess starch and helps prevent the noodles from sticking together.
-
Avoid overcooking the broccoli: Cook just until tender for a better texture and vibrant color.
-
Stir before serving: Coconut milk may settle slightly, so toss the noodles well to redistribute the sauce.
-
Adjust the consistency: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small splash of water to loosen it.
-
Check your soba noodles: Some soba noodles contain wheat, so check the package if preparing the dish for someone avoiding gluten.
