"Buckwheat noodles (soba) chilled combined with peach wedges grilled on the griddle and strips of golden chicken. The colorful mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and vegetable strips is wrapped in a creamy miso and tahini paste sauce."

Discover an unexpected noodle salad that celebrates the sweetness of summer peaches with an irresistible umami touch. Light, nutritious, and full of color, it's the ideal choice for relaxed and flavorful meals.

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The thermal shock in ice water immediately after cooking the soba noodles removes loose starch and firms up the noodles. - Grilling the peaches over high heat caramelizes the fruit's natural sugars without breaking down the firm flesh. - The white miso emulsion with tahini and rice vinegar creates a balance between umami, acidity, and fruity sweetness.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 200 g Buckwheat (soba) noodles
  • 2 units Grilled chicken breasts
  • 2 units Ripe peaches, grilled

  • 1/4 cup Folhas de hortelã fresca
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro leaves

  • 3 tablespoons White miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons Tahini
  • 3 tablespoons Vinagre de arroz
  • 2 tablespoons Molho de soja light (shoyu)

Instructions

Instructions

1

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and immediately pass through cold water to stop the cooking and prevent them from sticking. Reserve in a large bowl.

2

While the noodles cook, prepare the chicken (if using). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, grill until golden and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

3

Prepare the grilled peaches. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, lightly grease with oil. Grill the peach wedges for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are soft and have grill marks. Let cool.

4

In a small bowl, prepare the Miso-Tahini dressing. Combine the miso paste, tahini, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and sesame oil. The professional technique is to mix well with a whisk until obtaining a homogeneous paste.

5

Add the maple syrup or honey, if using. Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the sauce reaches a creamy and fluid consistency, easy to incorporate into the salad. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

6

To the bowl with the cooled noodles, add the sliced chicken (or chosen protein), cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with half of the Miso-Tahini sauce and mix gently to cover all ingredients.

7

Incorporate the chilled grilled peaches, blueberries, and raspberries into the salad. Add the mint and cilantro leaves. Stir gently to avoid bruising the delicate fruits. Serve immediately, finishing with the toasted sesame seeds.

Chef Tips

- Brush a thin film of oil on the grill before placing the peach wedges to prevent them from sticking. - Add cold water to the miso sauce spoon by spoon until it reaches a velvety consistency that coats the pasta. - Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin julienne strips to maintain the crunchy texture against the soft noodles.

Variations

- Vegetarian version: omit the chicken and add cooked shelled edamame to provide protein. - Spicy version: add a teaspoon of chili oil or finely chopped dedo-de-moça pepper to the miso sauce. - Versão com castanhas: incorporate chopped roasted cashews in place of sesame seeds for a crunchy texture.

Substitutions

- Soba noodles can be substituted with udon noodles, thin whole wheat spaghetti, or rice noodles. - Fresh peaches can be replaced with firm ripe nectarines or thick slices of grilled mango. - The grilled chicken breast can be replaced by grilled tofu cubes or sautéed medium shrimp.

How to Store

Store the noodles with the vegetables, fruits, and sauce in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. As the peach and red fruits release liquid, assemble the salad and drizzle with the creamy sauce only at the time of serving.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing this assembled salad is not indicated, as the noodles soften and the fresh fruits lose their cellular consistency, falling apart when thawing. Consume all fresh under refrigeration within the indicated period.

What to Serve With

Pairs well with unsweetened iced green tea, water infused with lemon slices and fresh mint, or vegetable skewers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to prevent buckwheat noodles from sticking after draining?

Wash the noodles under cold running water, rubbing delicately with your hands, and add half a tablespoon of sesame oil.

What is the ideal ripeness of the peach for grilling in a skillet?

Use ripe fruits but with firm flesh; excessively soft peaches fall apart and release juice on the hot griddle.

Can the miso and tahini sauce be stored in advance?

Yes, store the blended sauce in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; add a spoonful of water before using if it thickens.

Can I eat this dish warm instead of completely cold?

Yes, placing the peaches and the chicken fresh off the grill over the fresh noodles results in an excellent thermal contrast.
