Shrimp and Soba Noodle Salad

Drescription

I fell in love with the Panera Bread® Shrimp and Soba Salad, decided to recreate it myself, and fell in love with my recipe. This is now one of my favorites!

Ingredients

¼ cup miso paste
¼ cup canola oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon mirin (japanese sweet wine)
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon chile garlic sauce
1 (8.8 ounce) package dried soba noodles
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup carrots, cut into matchstick-size pieces
½ cup shredded cabbage
½ cup sliced snow peas
8 cherry tomatoes
16 cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Whisk miso paste, canola oil, rice vinegar, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, mirin, peanut butter, and chile garlic sauce together in a bowl until dressing is blended.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in soba noodles and return water to a boil. Boil noodles until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain noodles in a colander under cold running water until cool, about 1 minute.
Toss cooked soba noodles with 1/2 of the miso dressing in a large bowl until thoroughly coated.
Divide spinach among 4 serving bowls; top each with 1/4 of the dressed noodles. Divide carrots, cabbage, snow peas, and cherry tomatoes among each bowl; top each with 4 shrimp.
Drizzle remaining miso dressing onto each bowl to taste; sprinkle with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Mediterranean Octopus Salad

Refreshing and light, this salad exposes the most exquisite taste and texture of the octopus due to its freshness and the few accompanying ingredients. What makes this salad so natural is that all the fresh components are local to the octopus' origin, sometimes even sold at the fishmonger's. According to Italian folklore, to get the meat as tender as possible, add a wine bottle cork into the simmering water.

Air Fryer Spareribs rated 4.5 of 5 stars

We used an air fryer to turn spareribs into a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Separating the ribs helps them to fit in the fryer, cook quickly and get an even, golden crust all over. Make sure you dip them in the warm barbeque sauce immediately after they are done cooking––they'll absorb more flavor while still hot.
