Spicy, garlicky soba noodles and dark green kale yield a hearty and quick vegetarian meal. Leeks add a delicate, onion flavor. We liked using a buckwheat-wheat blended soba noodle, but any variety will work. The dish is fine as is, though a sunny-side up egg would be a nice complement. Gochujang, a chili paste common in Korean cooking, adds savory-salty heat to the noodles. It can be found in Asian markets and most larger supermarkets.
Servings
Don’t forget to rinse the soba noodles with cold water right after they finish cooking. They’ll turn gummy and lose their texture if they sit in warm water.
8.8-ounce package dried soba noodles
tablespoon packed light brown sugar
