Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz soba noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 5-6 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: While noodles cook, whisk together 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 3 thinly sliced scallions, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 0.25 tsp red chili flakes (if using) in a large bowl.
Step 3: Add the drained soba noodles to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the noodles and toss gently one more time. Adjust salt to taste and serve immediately or chilled.
