Hey guys! Happy Sunday! Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! We had some friends over on Saturday and had a sushi and rolls party! I love Asian food and if I had to eat Asian food everyday for the rest of my life, I think I could do it.
One of the things I love so much about Asian foods is that you can almost always find a healthy option, you can find a dish that involves a lot of vegetables and a lot of my favorite Asian foods are soups or have a great broth. It’s still pretty cold here in Wisconsin and these soba noodle broth bowls have become one of my favorites to make, for lunch or dinner.
They are super easy and the broth only requires a handful of ingredients. I got the idea for this broth when making one of my favorite Chinese soups, which I will be sharing on Friday. This dish is healthy, light and delicious! It has cabbage, fresh veggies on top as a garnish with some pan fried tofu and soba noodles.
Soba noodles, or buckwheat noodles, are a staple here at my house. I seriously make soba noodles as often as I do regular pasta. Buckwheat noodles are super healthy and fat and cholesterol-free and are a good source of nutrients like manganese, lean protein, carbohydrates and thiamine (or vitamin B-1). Also, since buckwheat does not contain gluten, buckwheat noodles are a good choice for gluten-free diets. Similar to whole grains, buckwheat it is a great source of heart-healthy fiber, which helps keep you full longer.
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 heaping teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce + more if desired
- ½ head of cabbage, chopped or shredded
- 9 oz. soba (buckwheat) noodles, cooked
- Pan fried tofu, sliced thin
- pickled radishes*
- shredded carrots
- roasted sesame seeds
- roasted seaweed (gim), shredded thin
- green onions, diced
- Using a heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven over high heat, bring your chicken stock, grated ginger and soy sauce to a boil. Once boiling, add the shredded cabbage and turn down to a medium simmer. Let cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cabbage is softened. Taste and season with more low sodium soy sauce if needed.
- To assemble your broth bowl: Place some soba noodles into your bowl and pour in the broth, making sure to get some cabbage too. Top the noodles with pan fried tofu, pickled radishes and carrots. Sprinkle on the roasted sesame seeds, gim and diced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy.

I need to make this and soon! I even have soba noodles in my pantry right now.
I hope you do, Renee! You will love this!
When I was a teenager and traveling to Indonesia from the US (and vice versa) , Japan Airlines had the best connections through Tokyo. The meal choice was filet mignon or soba noodles. Now, you’d think I’d choose the steak but those soba noodles were my favorite, served cold with a dipping sauce. Your warming bowls of broth and soba look delicious, Alice. Perfect for a cold day!
Stacy, ah that’s zaru soba. . one of my faves!!! you are so well traveled! I love that you visited Indonesia as a teen and now live in Dubai!
Asian soups are my favorite soups also! I am a lot like you in the fact that I could eat Asian food everyday, as long as its homemade 🙂 Your soup looks and sounds amazing. I now have another reason to go to the Asian market this week!
Thanks so much, Shelby!! I hope you try this!
I l.o.v.e. broth bowls but have never made one at home, or used soba noodles. I love this idea with all the toppings! I need to def make this at home!

I love these broth bowls, I could eat broth alone but I love your small additions!!
I love everything about this! The broth sounds perfect. I love the radishes with the noodles and broth. I need this in my cold Michigan life today. Yum!
this would be an awesome lunch during today’s blizzard!
It is FREEZING here today, and this soup would totally hit the spot. I love Asian broths–so satisfying, hearty, and healthy too! Can’t wait to try this!
Believe it or not, I have some pickled radishes and I can’t wait to try your yummy recipe!!!

A sushi party sounds so fun! These soba noodle bowls sound delish and are a heart healthy choice for sure!! Love how you can make them to your own liking!! Thanks for sharing
You had a “temaki” DIY sushi roll party for Valentine’s Day??? How cool!! This is my kind of midweek meal. Love it! 🙂
Looks like temps are quite cool in Wisconsin…But it looks like you are also keeping things comfy and fun with soba and sushi! P.s. Pinning!
I love soba noodle bowls … and since it’s currently 19 degrees here in St. Louis, I would love to dive into a bowl of yours!
YUM. I would love a huge bowl of this soup right now!
Love the bright colors in this soup. It looks wonderful
I feel warm looking at this bowl!! Will be perfect for a day like this 🙂
I have a pack of these noodles in my pantry. I must try this soup soon!
This looks SO GOOD. I love soba noodle bowls and the fact that you made this one a breeze to whip up is bonus points!

Alice, this soba noodle bowl looks so comforting. I love noodle soup so much that I wish I can slurp it every day. Thanks for sharing this quick & easy recipe, this is definitely one of my comfort foods. Yum!
Of course I can always expect you to make me hungry but this time is ridiculous. Like, I need this now!
I want this bowl right now..thank you sharing a pork/beef free broth.
It has been WAY colder than normal here lately, so I’ve been slurping up soup like it’s my JOB. (i guess it kind of is?) A big bowl of this noodle bowl would warm me up QUICKSNAP.
This is one of our go to meals when we are short on time. I love soba noodles.
As you said, I love that Asian food has so many vegetables in it. And I love that you can make your own soup bowl with this recipe! Pinning this one for later 🙂
I love how quick and healthy this dish is, Alice! Perfect for Sunday night…actually, perfect for any night. In fact, I think I could go for a bowl of these noodles right now for breakfast. It’s brutally cold outside, and the thought of a warm, comforting bowl of noodles sounds pretty amazing right now. Pinned!
This looks so warm and comforting! I actually don’t make soup often, but I really should. My girls love noodles, and I think they’d love this 🙂
Okay! This is the second recipe with soba noodles that I’ve come upon, today! The universe is trying to tell me something! I’ll be making soba noodles STAT! Thanks for your awesome recipe!
Love the look of these fresh broth bowls Alice! Need to make some soon, weather is cold and just perfect for them! Glad you had a nice V-Day!
This noodle bowl looks awesome, Alice! I LOVE buckwheat noodles and that broth sounds incredibly flavorful!
Mmmmmm! This soba soup looks wonderful!
What a perfect Sunday (or any day) dinner! I love the broth in here, Alice! This sounds so delicious and my husband would love this too! Pinning!
I’ve seen a couple of soba recipes this morning and I feel like I need to jump on board. I have yet to try soba noodles so this must happen. I’m pinning this and plan to give it a try soon!
I love soba noodles, but I’m the only one in my house who does! I always make them cold with the dipping sauce. I think I may need to try this hot broth version because I know my family loves soups.
Noodle bowls are the best, what a great dinner idea!
What nice, light, fresh and tasty looking noodle bowls!
I love that this dish is healthy and easy! Pinned!
This is my kind of soup – I’ve been having soup noodles almost everyday lately because it is freezing cold!!
That’s a big beautiful bowl of yummy soup. My family loves soba noodles every way, I need to try something like this.
Alice, fair warning – just so you know, the next time you are making this, I am totally coming over to eat! And I think you’re local to where I am…so girl, it’s not totally out of the question! 🙂 This looks absolutely amazing! Pinned! Because if you don’t invite me over, I have to make it myself! 🙂
Oh wow. This seriously looks amazing! I don’t know why I’m looking at food blogs at 1 AM, but I am seriously craving this as a late night (early morning?) snack!
I so wish we were real life neighbors. Then I could come over and steal one of these delicious broth bowls. Pinned.
These bowls are absolutely gorgeous, Alice! Like you said, it is still SUPER cold here and comfort food is the only thing I’m craving! I neeeeeeed this. 🙂
This looks so fresh & yummy!!
You are igniting my curiosity, Alice – I really need to get my hands on some Buckwheat noodles now!
Such a beautiful soup! I’ve still yet to try soba noodles.
