Hi there,
Beautiful dish! I have made this twice now. :-) quick question, is it 100% vegan?

I loved this my boyfriend did too! I made it yesterday. I added black sesame seeds, cilantro and red pepper flakes. Sweet, salty, tangy, crunchy...spicy.

I'd like to make it in advance and serve tomorrow. Anyone try it?

I have done that but kept the noodle & vegetable mixture separate from the dressing! Put some oil on the noodles before storing them so they don't stick together. Then mix in the dressing right before you serve! The noodles do tend to soak up some of the dressing if you store it all together overnight, making the dish less flavorful...that's what I've found.

Thank you! I really enjoyed this. I added a fried egg on top for some protein and added some cilantro and gomasio to top it off. I will definitely make this again.

I haven't made the salad yet, but the DRESSING is DIVINE! Will make the entire salad very soon.

This was such a refreshing noodle salad! I love asian-flavored noodle salads and this one hit the spot. Nice job!

I love soba, and always eat cold, zaru soba, in the summer - and will try this fusion dish too. Wether you intend to eat your soba hot or cold they are vastly improved by rinsing them well in cold water after boiling. (This is always done in Japan, and you simply plunge them in boiling water after rinsing if you intend to eat them hot). You can also save a bit of the cooking water for a very healthy drink. (either hot or cooled)

While I do prefer noodles hot, I agree that this sounds like a fresh, light dinner-will have to give it a try. One of my teenage daughter's favorite dinner is rather similar to this in that there's fresh veggies and an uncooked dressing that is mixed in with the soba noodles (and she eats it at school the next day, cold.)
