Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber seeded and cut into thin 1 inch matchsticks
  • 2 carrots peeled and cut into thin 1 inch matchsticks
  • 1 red pepper seeded and sliced thinly
  • 1 yellow pepper seeded and sliced thinly
  • 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
  • 1 8.8 ounce package of soba noodles these are found in the international foods aisle at the grocery store
  • 5 Tablespoons peanut butter
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • 5 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1 jalapeño pepper seeded (you can use more or less depending on your comfort level with spice)
  • 1/2 cup of peanuts + a few more peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil water in a pot.
  2. Cook soba noodles according to directions, do not overcook.
  3. Drain noodles in a large colander, set noodles aside to cool to desired temperature (I put mine in the refrigerator so I could have this dish served cold).
  4. Place garlic in a food processor and process until minced.
  5. Add peanut butter, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, vinegar and jalapeño, process until smooth.
  6. Add peanuts and pulse a few times, leaving your sauce slightly chunky.
  7. Place cooled noodles in a large bowl, toss with peanut sauce,
  8. Add cucumber, carrot, and peppers and toss again to coat.
  9. Add cilantro and extra peanuts for garnish.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
