Shrimp Soba Noodles

Super Simple. It’s the dinner dream, right? Well, super simple and SUPER delicious. Add in a quick cook time and an easy clean up and – WHOA baby, now we’re talking!

If said SUPER SIMPLE dinner also happens to be a total stud in the “pack me for lunch tomorrow, eat me cold, and guess what – I’m EVEN better” department… well, I don’t think I need to tell you just how weak in the knees that idea gets me. Excuse me while I un-fluster myself and regain composure. This may take a moment…

And we’re back!

Since this meal is all about simplicity, I will keep things short and to the point in my descriptions. The star of this show is definitely the soba noodles. They’re a breeze to cook and take literally under 5 minutes. WIN!

The shrimp are equally an awesome part of this meal, and ALSO cook in under 5 minutes. Whaaaat? To good to be true? Nope. It’s true!

The rest of the meal consists of a simple sesame / soy sauce, fresh ginger, and lots of garlic. Cilantro and scallions are the finishing touches. And friends, it is all kinds of lovely!

I hope you give it a try! And don’t fret if you think it makes too much. Like I said earlier, these noodles were born to play the role of leftovers! xoxo

These Super Simple Garlic and Ginger Shrimp Soba Noodles are so flavorful and perfect for dinner tonight! 

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces soba noodles
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 8 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • Zest and juice of one large lime
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender; 4 minutes. Drain and rinse noodles under cold water. Transfer noodles to a large serving bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil with the soy sauce. Add sauce to the noodles and toss.
  3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the shallots and ginger cook over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallot mix to a paper towel lined plate. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook over very low heat until golden; 2 minutes. Transfer the garlic to the same paper towel line plate.
  4. In a bowl, combine the lime zest and juice with the remaining oil; stir in the shrimp and season with salt. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook on each side for about 1 minute; just until they're pink.
  5. Sprinkle the noodles with the scallions, cilantro, crushed red pepper, ginger fried shallots, garlic, and shrimp. Serve at once, or chill until needed.

    I love soba noodle dishes! Seriously, you are spot on–they almost always taste better with time (and cold) and make the perfect packed lunch. I ended up buying a ridiculous quantity of them (5 lbs?) at a nearby Asian supermarket not too long ago and NEED to make this. Those shrimp are calling my name!

      Hi Kate,

      The ginger is actually cooked with shallots, right before the garlic and shrimp. Sorry if that was confusing! Let me know if you have any other ?’s 🙂

    This sounds like the ultimate in fast dinners! I might serve these noodles over a bunch of chopped raw spinach, just to punch them up with some greens. So good!

    Obsessed. Obsessed! Asian noodles are my favorite, but most of them are so flippin’ fattening. I must have these ASAP.
