GREEN TEA SOBA NOODLES WITH
ROASTED VEGETABLES & HERBS
By Emily from This Rawsome Vegan Life
Serves 2 hungry people
Roasted veggies:

Noodles:

1 sweet potato

½ package green tea noodles

2 large beets

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

4 large mushrooms

(optional)

4 garlic cloves

½ teaspoon salt (optional)

1 onion

Toppings:

1 tablespoon fave vegetable oil

½ cucumber

½ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, fennel

1 cup cilantro

seeds, dill, paprika, turmeric, garlic
powder and rosemary if you have them
1 teaspoon maple syrup

¼ cup peanuts or other nuts
¼ cup raisins

Prepare your plants:
1    Pre-heat the oven to 350°F/ 175°C.
2    Peel and slice all the veggies so they are all roughly the same size.
3    Mix in the oil, herbs/spices and maple syrup until everybody is
evenly coated.
4    Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the beets and sweet potatoes are
soft and delicious.
5    While the veggies are baking, make the noodles: follow the instructions on the package, ya goof!

Recently we've been making different
kinds of soba noodles with a ton of raw
and roasted veggies like sweet potatoes,
cucumber, mushrooms, cilantro, beets,
onions, garlic, bell peppers and so on.
I like to add raisins and peanuts on top.
So this time round I prepared some
green tea noodles and served them
with delicious, fresh vegetables.
Soba noodles are traditionally made
with buckwheat - a nutritious seed
packed full of fibre, magnesium, lysine
and amino acids. But be sure to
check the packet labels. Many brands
supplement their buckwheat noodles
with wheat flour. So, if you want to be
gluten-free make sure you choose
100% buckwheat soba.

6    Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop them from
cooking anymore.
7    Then add a teaspoon of vegetable oil and a ½ teaspoon of salt, if
you like.
8    Cut up the cucumber and cilantro for the toppings.
9    When the vegetables are ready: put your noodles in two bowls,
place the roasted veggies on top, followed by the cucumber,
cilantro, raisins, peanuts and whatever else you think to add.
