Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cook the soba noodlesBring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook as they can become mushy. Drain and immediately rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Drain well.
-
Prepare the peanut sauceIn a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using). If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water until it reaches a pourable consistency.
-
Prepare the vegetablesJulienne the cucumber and carrot, slice the bell pepper into thin strips, and thinly slice the green onions. Set aside.
-
Combine noodles and saucePlace the cooled soba noodles in a large bowl and pour about three-quarters of the peanut sauce over them. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
-
Add vegetables and garnishAdd the cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and half of the green onions to the noodles. Toss gently to combine. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top or reserve for individual servings.
-
Chill and serveCover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, sprinkle with remaining green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro if using. The dish can be served cold or at room temperature.
