Can’t wait to try…..if one doesn’t use Kale, what other green vegetable would you suggest???
Swiss chard, arugula or spinach will be great! 😀
I use spinach and its great
Seonkyong, I just wanted to thank you for all the yummy recipes that you have shared with us. I made this soba salad for dinner today and my kids insisted that I write you a thank you note. Thank you and we love you!! ?
Wow, Jane, this is so sweet!! how amazing you are..!! Thank you for sharing your story with me and letting me in your kitchen!!! Love you!!!
can i use rice vinegar and also sugar?
Yes, you can use sugar. 🙂
Could I substitute mulyeot for the agave? If so, would it be the same amount?
Of course you can! need to reduce about 2/3 amount from the original recipe. 🙂 Sorry for my late reply!
This looks super satisfying and I’m a pretty major meat lover.
Wow! It must be a HUGE compliment!!! Thanks!!!! 😀
I made this (with a LOT of kale) last night and it was a HUGE hit! I substituted 2T of sugar and 2T of water for the agave, which, in that quantity, is probably close enough as far as sweetness. Another Asian at Home success! Thank you!
My hubby and I can’t have enough kale in this soba salad too! lol I found agave is more sweeter than regular sugar or honey. How you replace is pretty smart!
Hi Seonkyoung,
How long will this soba salad stay fresh in the fridge for? I like to meal prep for lunches and this would be great! thank you!
You didn’t mention the quantity of Tofu.
Sorry, I didn’t just because it was optional! I used 1/2 block of a tofu, but you don’t really need the quantity, since it’s just up to you!
