Directions

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Soba Noodles, or Udon noodles

Step 1

In a pot of boiling water, cook the noodles until tender. Drain them, and rinse with cold water.

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper, optional
  • 2 teaspoons Cane (Natural) Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar, or Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Dark Sesame Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce, or Tamari
  • 4 tablespoons Natural Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1⁄4 cup Warm Water

Step 2

Make the peanut sauce by whisking together the warm water, peanut butter, soy sauce/tamari, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and cayenne. I prefer to mix the ingredients in a blender so comes out extra smooth and creamy, but mixing by hand will work, too.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Vegetables, (any combination of the following): mung bean sprouts, cucumbers (peeled, seeded, and sliced into half-moons), red bell pepper (chopped or cut into thin strips), snow peas (whole or cut in half), carrots (chopped or julienned), broccoli florets

Step 3

Prepare any vegetables you plan on using.
 

Step 4

Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl, and toss them with the sauce (see note, below). Stir in the vegetables or serve the veggies on the side. Serve at room temperature or cold.
 

Step 5

Note: Its best to toss the noodles with the peanut sauce right before serving so the sauce doesn't get absorbed by the noodles. If I put this meal in my childrens lunchboxes, I usually put the sauce in a separate, small container so they can mix it with the noodles at lunchtime.
