Asian Pesto With Soba Noodles
Original Recipe
Notes
You can eat this dish hot or cold.
Ingredients
- Salt, to taste
4 cups fresh basil, roughly chopped
1 cup scallions, chopped
1 cup almonds
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup olive oil
12 ounces soba noodles
Directions
- Add 6-8 cups of water to a large pot, season with salt, and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, add basil, scallions, almonds, ginger, and garlic to a food processor. (You might have to do it in batches if your food processor is too small to fit all the ingredients.) Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and olive oil to the food processor; pulse until a thick paste forms. Season with salt.
- When the water in the pasta pot has reached a rolling boil, add the soba noodles, reduce heat, and let simmer for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain in a colander and serve warm with the pesto. Alternatively, you can rinse the noodles in cold water and serve cold with the pesto.
