Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 8 oz soba noodles
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup Napa cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 2 large carrots cut into matchsticks or spiralized
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped

For the Miso Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp agave
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 lime juiced and zested
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions
 

For the Salad

  • In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.  Cook the soba noodles according to packaging instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles.  Rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold water so they stop cooking.  Once cooled off, set the noodles aside.
  • For the cabbage and carrots, I like to cut them into long thin strips so they have the same length as the noodles. You can spiralize them, or just cut them into long matchsticks.
  • In a large bowl, add the arugula, cabbage, carrots, and cilantro.

For the Miso Dressing

  • In a pint sized major jar, combine all dressing ingredients.  For the garlic I like to use a garlic press… but it can be minced/diced instead.  When all ingredients are in the jar, shake until well combined.
  • Toss veggies, soba noodles, arugula into a large bowl and cover with dressing.  Chill and serve cold.
