I have been trying to branch out a little and cook new things for my kids to try. These soba noodles were a huge hit. I can’t’ wait to have the leftovers for lunch! This is a quick and easy weeknight meal under 30 minutes to make. After I bough the ingredients I wished I had gotten green onions but I forgot and decided to use red instead which worked perfectly fine but I think green onions may be better in this? You could also add in shredded carrots and purple cabbage if you want more veggies. This is best served room temperature and the noodles are great cold as well. You cold easily make the salad portion ahead of time and then just cook the salmon right before dinner. Enjoy!
So many of you love seeing the kid’s plates so I will try and share more of that.
My bowl I added a little kale kimchi to mine!
