13+ Delectable Vegan Soba Noodle Recipes

December 13, 2020Updated December 31, 2023 By Nava Atlas Leave a Comment

Here’s an array of vegan soba noodle recipes, featuring the robust Japanese noodle made with buckwheat flour. Whether in stir-fries, soups, or cold dishes, soba noodles are a delectable element in Asian-style dishes.

Vean Soba noodles with leafy greens - collards or kale

One of the most relished of the traditional foods of Japan, soba (also known as buckwheat noodles) are so immensely popular in their land of origin. Soba shops are a common sight in Japanese cities— small eateries serving specialties made with these beloved noodles.

What are soba noodles, and how do you cook them?

See more about why soba is the quintessential Japanese noodle and explore further in this site’s Guide to Soba Noodles.

Though they’re dark and robust, soba noodles have a smooth texture, unlike many whole-grain pastas. Thin and spaghetti-shaped, the buckwheat flour content in the noodles varies, from as much as 80 percent to as little as 20 percent. The packages state the proportion.

Soba noodles are cooked just like ordinary pasta — in a roomy pot in plenty of steadily simmering water. They take approximately 5 to 7 minutes to cook.

Best to follow package directions, just as you would any other type of pasta or noodle variety. Thanks to the talented bloggers who participated in this roundup, with permission to use their tempting photos.
