Buckwheat. I mean why didn’t I just call my blog “Buckwheat by Mars” for crying out loud… I just love the taste. So earthy and so versatile, whether it’s flour, groats or soba… I can’t get enough of all the variations. I make a mean crust out of it (empanada recipe here), it goes great in salad bowls (here) and it’s perfect for breakfast too (hi!). Can’t get enough!! This is done boiling in about 8 minutes flat… and is perfect with vegetables. The coconut ‘florentine-ish’ type sauce I paired it with is so light and refreshing, yet somehow comforting since it is a bowl of pasta basically. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner, as a side or main, this will leave you pleasantly satisfied.
FYI on soba– If you have a high gluten intolerance or are celiac, make sure you find one that’s gluten-free. The brand I use had no wheat in it, but did have a disclaimer that it was near machines that could have traces of it. For me that’s fine, but if you’re highly sensitive, just find one you can tolerate.

This soba looks so good! Great photos too 🙂
This looks so delightful and healthful! What a great recipe this looks like! I love the topping of fresh radishes. They’r a lovely fresh addition to an otherwise hearty dish. And I love that you saluted everything in coconut oil. What a nice, healthy recipe!
I recently made a southern cooking and baking blog.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would check it out!
Thanks so much!
This looks like such a lovely simple meal! I adore buckwheat too – I think it’s my favourite of the gluten free flours – and soba noodles are so delicious! xo
Thanks so much! Sometimes you just need a simple and pretty meal 😉
Delicious spring soba, Alison! I’ve been warming up to radishes lately as I’ve not appreciated their sharp flavor in the past. But I’m finding when balanced with other ingredients, they can be quite enjoyable. Thank you for this delicious recipe! (love the coconut oil, btw!).
Woohoo!! I never used to be huge on radishes either… But now? Can’t stop, won’t stop! Haha
Yum! Buckwheat soba noodles sound fantastic. I absolutelo love buckwheat too – love the nutty flavour 🙂 And it sounds great compared with the other lovely ingredients in this recipe.
Why thank you, lady!!
