- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons light yellow miso
- 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces soba noodles
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, garnish
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, miso, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, honey, lime zest, lime juice, and salt until smooth.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the tomatoes with 3 tablespoons of the miso dressing and season with a pinch of salt.
Roast for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are charred in spots. Scrape into a large bowl.
Cook the soba noodles in boiling water just until al dente, 4 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water.
Add the soba noodles, scallions, and half of the remaining dressing to the tomatoes and toss well. Season with additional salt if necessary.
Transfer to a platter and garnish with the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve with the remaining dressing.
- How to store: Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: Roast tomatoes and make sauce up to 24 hours ahead of time; store separately (covered) in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, prepare soba noodles and assemble with tomatoes and sauce.
- How to freeze: Place in a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Rinse noodles. After cooking the noodles until al dente, drain and cool under cold running water. This stops the cooking and prevents the noodles from sticking together.
- Serve hot or cold. Miso noodles can be served cold and hot, depending on the season, and they're delicious both ways. Serve them at your preferred temperature.
