Cold Kimchi Soba Noodles
If you love a good noodle bowl, it’s time to kick things up with the spicy funk of kimchi. Not only is it tossed with the noodles, but if you’re lucky enough to have a jar with extra brine, I strongly recommend mixing some into the sauce for extra flavor.

6 ounces buckwheat soba noodles
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons kimchi brine (optional)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove the excess starch.
Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, kimchi brine (if using), and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the soba noodles, red cabbage, kimchi, scallions, and cilantro. Toss well to combine. Divide the noodles among four bowls and then top with extra cilantro and red pepper flakes.
