If you love a meal with maximum flavor but minimal fuss, this recipe is for you. Thinly sliced bok choy is thrown in with soba noodles just before draining them, giving you perfectly blanched greens and silky noodles in just four minutes. Tossed with a rich and nutty tahini-sesame dressing and sliced green onion and topped with crispy fried onions and toasted sesame seeds, this ultra-coated noodle dish is chock full of texture, flavor and — most importantly — ease.
This dish is best served at room temperature shortly after dressing it. For a lunch on the go or a picnic dinner, bring the dressing in a separate container. Ditto for the crispy toppings to preserve their texture.
