Skin-Loving Soba Salad

Try this delicious skin-friendly recipe next time you have guests over (or keep it all for yourself!)

You’ll need:

• 250gram packet of tempeh

• 1 tablespoon of tamari

• 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast

• 1 cup of frozen edamame beans

• 2 medium-sized carrots, finely sliced

• ½ a telegraph cucumber, finely sliced

• ½ a capsicum, finely sliced

• ½ an avocado, finely sliced

• 1 handful of fresh coriander

• 1 packet of soba noodles

• Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh lime juice

To make:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius

• Slice the tempeh into slices approximately one centimetre thick.

• Cover a baking tray with baking paper. Mix the tamari and nutritional yeast together in a small bowl. Brush the tempeh with the tamari mix. Lay the slices of tempeh on the tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

• While the tempeh is cooking, finely slice the carrots, cucumber and capsicum. Once the tempeh is cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool. Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add the soba noodles and use tongs to spread them out. Cook for approximately two and a half minutes until el dente. Immediately drain the noodles and transfer into a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking further.

• Drain the noodles and transfer to a few paper towels to dry.

• Slice the avocado and arrange all the components on a serving dish or plate into individual bowls. Drizzle with Bestow Beauty Plus Oil and garnish with sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice.
