Soba Noodles with Garlicky Green Sauce, Scallion Oil & AvocadoSoba Noodles with Garlicky Green Sauce, Scallion Oil & Avocado — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 avocados

3 (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

3 small bunches green onions (scallions)

1 ½ limes

⅓ cup nutritional yeast flakes

425 g soba (buckwheat) noodles

crushed red pepper

garlic powder

salt

soy sauce

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Fill a large pot about halfway with hot water (from the tap); add salt, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Once the water is boiling, add spinach and cook until bright green and just tender, about 30 seconds. Using tongs, transfer spinach to the colander, and set aside to drain (reserve boiling water in pot for the next step).

Add the noodles to the pot and cook according to package directions, about 5 minutes. Once done, drain in the colander. (Reserve pot for later use.)

While the noodles are cooking, transfer drained spinach to a blender. (Reserve colander for the noodles.)

Juice limes into the blender.

Add nutritional yeast, soy sauce, oil, and garlic powder to the blender. Blend on high until sauce is smooth, adding water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach a drizzling consistency. Set green sauce aside.

Trim and thinly slice green onions crosswise.

Wipe the pot used for the noodles clean with paper towels and return to medium heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add green onions, crushed red pepper, and salt; cook, stirring frequently, until bright green and just tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Transfer drained noodles to a large bowl. Add green sauce, then stir to coat noodles; add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to coat the noodles in sauce.

Halve and pit avocados; using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and slice crosswise into thin pieces. Season with salt.

To serve, divide noodles and avocado between plates or bowls; top noodles with scallion oil. Enjoy!
