Cold Tuna and Edamame Soba
- 1 pound Frozen, Shelled Edamame, Thawed
- 2 teaspoons Salt, For The Edamame, Plus More To Taste
- 6 ounces, weight (2 Individually Wrapped Portions) Dry Soba Noodles
- 3 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Chile Garlic Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 dash Fish Sauce
- 1 can (5 Ounces) Albacore Tuna, Drained
- Diced Pickled Ginger, Fried Garlic Bits, And Chile Garlic Sauce, For Serving (optional)
- For the noodles and edamame:
- Bring a gallon of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
- Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the edamame to the water.
- Boil for one minute before adding the soba noodles.
- Stir frequently, boiling for 2 minutes less than the time specified on the package of noodles.
- Test a noodle.
- If it is cooked through with a little body left to it, drain the noodles and edamame right away.
- Immediately rinse the noodles and edamame well with cold water to stop the cooking.
- The edamame will mostly fall to the bottom of the colander.
- Let the noodles and edamame drain while you make the sauce.
- For the sauce:
- Add the sesame oil, chile garlic sauce, soy sauce and fish sauce to a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Use your hands to lift the noodles into the mixing bowl, leaving most of the edamame in the colander.
- Toss the noodles in the sauce, using hands or tongs, to coat evenly.
- Transfer the noodles to your serving platter or bowl.
- Chill, covered, for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve:
- Scatter the edamame and then the tuna over the noodles.
- Serve with bowls of fried garlic, pickled ginger and additional chile sauce as optional toppings.
- Notes
- *Fried garlic is available at some grocery stores, most Asian food markets and via mail order.
- If you cant find it, you can simply fry minced garlic in a little neutral oil, such as canola or peanut oil, over medium heat until golden brown and drain on paper towels before serving.
- This recipe scales up and down easily depending on how many you wish to serve.
- Just count on cooking one bunch of noodles (soba is usually sold with individual portions wrapped inside the main package) per adult or half a bunch per child.
- Likewise, count on using half of or an entire five-ounce can of albacore tuna, drained, per adult and half a can per child, depending on appetite.
- Adjust the quantity of sauce accordingly.
