Cold Soba Noodles with Jammy Eggs and Peas

These cold soba noodles with jammy eggs and peas offer a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy the bright flavours of early summer. This vegetarian dish centres on earthy buckwheat noodles submerged in a light, savoury broth made from homemade pea-pod stock and tangy kimchi juice. The addition of crisp radishes and peppery watercress provides a wonderful textural contrast to the soft, golden yolks of the eggs, making every mouthful feel both nourishing and restorative.

Perfect as a light lunch or a refreshing evening meal, this recipe is a fantastic way to practice zero-waste cooking by utilising the often-discarded pea pods for the savoury base. Packed with plant-based protein and vibrant greens, it is a healthy option that does not compromise on flair. Serve it thoroughly chilled on a warm afternoon for a truly elegant dining experience.

Ingredients for Cold Soba Noodles with Jammy Eggs and Peas

  • 120ml shelled fresh peas (from about 230g pods), pods reserved

  • Koshersalt

  • 1 serrano chilli, thinly sliced

  • 60ml kimchi juice (from a jar of kimchi)

  • 45ml white or regular soy sauce

  • 2 matskedar osmakad risvinäger

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoons chilli oil, plus more for serving

  • 170g dried soba noodles

  • 2 bunches small radishes (any variety), trimmed, thinly sliced into rounds

  • 2 cups pea shoots (tendrils) and/or baby rocket

  • 1 cup tatsoi or watercress

  • 4 Jammy Soft-Boiled Eggs, quartered

  • Sliced spring onions (for serving)

Cook peas in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water. Let cool; drain and set aside.

Bring pea pods and 350ml water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until pods are softened, 20–30 minutes. Drain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids. Cover and chill pea stock until cold, about 30 minutes. (This is a great way to make use of vegetable trimmings, but you can use store-bought vegetable broth instead.)

Whisk chilli, kimchi juice, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ginger, sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoons chilli oil into pea stock. Set stock mixture aside.

Cook noodles in a pot of boiling salted water until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Swish noodles around in the bowl with your hands to help them cool, then drain.

Add noodles to bowl with reserved stock mixture along with radishes, pea shoots, tatsoi, and reserved peas and toss gently to combine. Divide noodles, vegetables, and stock mixture among bowls; top with eggs and spring onions and drizzle with a little chilli oil.
