Ingredients
FOR SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
- 1/2 cup peanut butter unsalted
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger skin removed
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 tbsp sriracha or to taste
- 1/4-1/2 cup water as needed
FOR SOBA NOODLES
- 9 oz soba noodles* dry
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 bell pepper cut in strips
- 1/2 head purple cabbage diced
- green onion, cilantro, chopped peanuts for topping
Instructions
- Prepare peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, jalapeño, sriracha and 1/4 cup of water in a food processor, blender or mixing bowl (if using an immersion blender). Blend on high until smooth - adding additional water if needed.
- Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package instructions. Soba noodles should only take 4-6 minutes to cook. Be sure not to overcook them. Drain and set aside.
- Two minutes before noodles are finished cooking, heat remaining sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and cabbage and sauté for 2 minutes - making sure not to overcook (you want a little crunch).
- Turn heat off and add cooked noodles & peanut sauce to the pan. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick you can add 1/4 cup of water to the pan to help thin out the sauce and coat everything better.
- Serve noodles immediately and top with green onion, cilantro and peanuts.
Notes
*If you are GF, be sure to check the label to make sure your noodles are 100% buckwheat - some brands add flour.
FOR LEFTOVERS: You can serve the leftovers hot or cold. The noodles will continue to absorb the sauce while they sit in the fridge. If you plan on having a lot of leftovers you may want to heat the sauce separately and add it to each serving as you eat it (rather than adding it all to the pan at once). You can also double the sauce recipe so that you can add additional sauce to leftovers as needed.
