  • 1 ½ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Notes

  • Make it gluten-free: You can make this recipe gluten-free by using tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. You should also look at the ingredient list of the soba noodles you buy. Some soba noodles contain wheat. Make sure you buy soba noodles that only contain buckwheat.
  • Make it soy-free: Just use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and you have a soy-free alternative. You might have to add some salt to the recipe if you don't add any soy sauce.
  • Make it vegan: Simply substitute the honey with a sweetener of choice or just skip it.
