Ingredients
- 1 count rotisserie chicken
- 10 oz soba noodles
- 18 oz broccoli florets
- 10 oz shredded carrots
- 1 bunch green onions
- ¼ cup white miso paste
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 count lime
Steps
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Pull the meat off the rotisserie chicken, discarding skin and bones, and shred it. Slice the green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk the miso, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, juice of the lime, and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth.
- Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon into a large bowl.
- Cook the dry soba noodles in the same water 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water.
- Toss the noodles with half the miso dressing. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the chicken, broccoli, carrots, and green onions. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Make ahead: shred the chicken, slice the onions and mix the dressing up to 2 days ahead and keep each covered in the fridge.
- Picky eater tip: serve the plain noodles, chicken and broccoli with the dressing on the side.
On the side: Cucumber salad (5 min)
2 cucumbers, 1 bottle rice vinegar
- Thinly slice the cucumbers. Toss with a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt.
