Lunch: Spicy Orange Soba Noodles

Silky buckwheat soba noodles are tossed in spicy orange-sesame dressing with a sprinkle of scallions and sesame seeds.

Ingredients

1 package soba noodles
1 c. orange juice
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp. hot sesame oil
1/2 c. scallions

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain, rinse in cold water until cool, and drain again.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring orange juice to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer gently until syrupy and reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
Combine orange syrup, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and oil in a blender and mix; transfer to a large bowl. Add noodles and scallions; toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
