This light and crunchy salad stars soba noodles, made of buckwheat flour, with an earthy taste and silky texture and tempeh, a protein product made of fermented soy beans. The tempeh can be bitter if under-cooked, so be sure to leave it in the pan long enough to develop a golden-brown crust.
The juicy vegetables are naturally moist enough that this salad’s dressing needs no oil. Feel free to add toasted sesame seeds, almonds or peanuts.
