With the long and sunny days of summer here, it can be difficult to make time to plan a meal outside of your usual weekly menu. Well, good news! Soy Vay is here to help. Their products can take even the most basic recipe and turn it into something really special. Plus, all of Soy Vay‘s sauces and marinades are kosher certified and can be used on just about anything, from dressings for your summer salads, to garden vegetables, grains, and meat dishes. They’re made without GMOs and preservatives and some now have gluten free certification.
In case you aren’t familiar with their (adorable) beginnings, Soy Vay started in 1980, when a Jewish boy and Chinese bonded over their unique cultural backgrounds, which included secret family recipes and a great love of food. The pair found inspiration in classic Chinese and Japanese sauces and marinades, then added a deliciously kosher twist and together founded Soy Vay in 1982. The brand became an instant success. More than 25 years later, Soy Vay is still finding ways to bring unexpected pairings to home kitchens in hopes of inspiring more great family dishes.
Recently I spent some time in Asia (you can check out my travel posts on Instagram here), and I was very inspired by the cuisine. There were so many interesting flavor combinations that it was difficult to pin down one specific dish to recreate. One thing that stood out was how prevalent meat and animal products are in these areas. I returned home ready to develop a few plant-based dishes incorporating some of the flavors we experienced.
These Citrus Tahini Soba Noodles & Broccoli made with Soy Vay Orange Ginger Marinade & Sauce are tangy, creamy and flavorful! The nutty tahini pairs well with the zesty citrus Soy Vay flavor. Broccoli can be subbed for asparagus, snow peas, or edamame. This dish is vegan, and can be made gluten free by using 100% buckwheat soba noodles. Enjoy!

This was VERY delicious and so easy! Will surely make again. Thank you, Tori, for such a wonderful recipe!
This recipe looks delicious. I would love to try it but I live in Mexico and can’t purchase this Soy Vey product. What ingredients would you recommend to replicate the ginger orange sauce?
Thank you…
Hi Ann! Goodness, I’m not sure… it’s such a unique sauce. It’s citrusy, sweet and gingery. If you can find a sauce that checks those boxes, it might work as a sub.
This was so good! I’m newish to soba noodles and this was a brand new flavor combination for me. Thank you for recommeding the sauce, I’ll use this marinade on other veggies. The tahini made it a little creamy but still vegan, which we liked a lot!
