Good day my Steemit Iron Chef friends!


Its time for another round of @progressivechef’s Steemit Iron Chef Challenge. Round 12 of the 2nd Act. Many thanks to @progressivechef for hosting this challenge! So many amazing creations each week.


This week our challenge is…

Pasta!


When my daughter was married 5 years ago we hosted a bridal luncheon for her. Since she is gluten intolerant I was very careful to prepare only gluten free options for lunch. Today I would like to share a pasta creation which was loved by all!

Chilled Sesame Soba in Cucumber Cups

This pasta dish can be served as an appetizer or as a salad. It is light, crispy with an Asian flair!

Ingredients

  • Soba Noodles
  • Cucumbers
  • Sesame Oil
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Tahini Sauce
  • Green Onions (chopped very thin)
  • Pepper

I first peeled the cumber and sliced in 1 ½” slices.

Then, cook the Soba Noodles until tender.

Whisk the Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar, Tahini Sauce together and pour half over the soba noodles. Toss half of the chopped green onions. Twirl noodles into cucumber cups. Garnish with remaining green onions and chill until ready to serve! Drizzle additional sauce over noodles before serving!


Voila!

Oh! This would be perfect for today - another warm summer day! Wonderful! My favorite of this round by what I've seen until now! 👍🏻

Thank you my dear, you are so kind :) You are correct, perfect for a hot summer day!

I was curious and had to look up Suba Noodles, I had never heard of them before

Love the presentation it looks so good

Thank you! Soba noodles are nice because they are gluten free (made from buckwheat) and they're very light, unlike a lot of pasta. I'm glad you liked it @tatoodjay :)

@birdsinparadise Yes I read that I must look for them here and try them sometime

Looks so yummy👌...and easy to make....

Thank you so much! Yes, easy and so delicious! (Your guests will think you spent hours) lol

I bet that didn't take too long to prepare, but it looks really great! Proof that vegan food doesn't have to be boring :D

You are so correct, tasty doesn't always need to be time consuming, great if unexpected guests stop in! Yep, vegan doesn't have to be boring :)

Wow this looks great! I love your presentation of this, it looks very pretty and professional. I love cucumbers but I have never tried Soba noodles. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us :)

Thank you @crosheille you are sweet. You would like the Soba noodles, they are very light not heavy like some pasta :) I hope you'll try them!

You’re welcome! I just might give them a try! 😉

Very original the cucumber cups!! Looks delicious!!

You are sweet, thank you. An easy summer pasta :). I hope you'll try them!
