Ingredients:
  • 12 oz uncooked soba (buckwheat) noodles
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 2 cups fresh snow pea pods (1 cup), strings removed, cut diagonally (about 4 1/2 oz)
  • 6 medium green onions, cut diagonally, whites and greens separated
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 5 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 oranges, sectioned
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seed
Instructions:
  • Prepare noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled. Set aside.
  • In a 5-quart Dutch oven, heat the enticing sesame oil until it shimmers over medium heat. Add the colorful bell pepper, crisp snow peas, and the flavorful whites of onions, saving the greens for a decorative touch. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the veggies are tender. Remove and set aside the vibrant vegetables.
  • Combine gingerroot, garlic, honey, and soy sauce in a Dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened. Whisk in orange juice and then remove from heat. Toss noodles in the orange juice mixture until well coated.
  • Portion the noodles evenly into 6 bowls and garnish with vegetables, oranges, sesame seeds, and green onion.
