Matcha Soba Noodles

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz. buckwheat soba noodles
  • 1 teaspoon pure matcha tea powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cashews coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon to taste cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari optional

Method
 

  1. Combine dry noodles and about 3-4 inches of water in a medium saucepan. Cook until noodles are soft but not mushy, about 5-6 minutes. Turn off the heat, drain the noodles, and rinse with cool water.
  2. While the noodles drain, add matcha powder to the pot and whisk until smooth (you don’t want any clumps). Turn the heat to the lowest setting, and add about 1/4 cup of water, 1 tbsp. at time, whisking until the matcha begins to froth around the edges. Add coconut oil; stir to combine, or until oil is fully melted.
  3. Return noodles to pot with the tea mixture and stir well to coat. There will be extra liquid in the pot, so leave the heat on low until all the water is absorbed.
  4. Divide noodles into bowls and top with chopped nuts and a very light sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

Store remainders in a sealed container up to 3 days, with a thin layer of water to prevent clumping.
