This salad is delicious cold or hot, versatile and is great with shrimp or chicken for variety. Red curry paste also works in place of the green. Soba noodles are made from buckwheat and are a good source of protein, potassium and iron They are tasty in chilled salads, steamy soups and spicy stir fries. They are a great alternative to rice noodles and traditional pasta.
