COLD PEANUT SOBA NOODLES



Cold Peanut Soba Noodles image

I'm a huge fan of cold peanut noodles, especially soba noodles. Soba noodles are Japanese buckwheat noodles, and are great for vegetarians. A 2-ounce (dry) serving of soba noodles has 8 grams of protein and 12% of the RDA of dietary fiber - and no cholesterol. Add different vegetables if you wish (shredded cabbage is good, or water chestnuts), and if you're not vegetarian, add soy-marinated chicken, shrimp or even salmon. Cook time is for boiling the noodles.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons water
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
4 ounces cooked soba noodles (or regular spaghetti)
1/2 red bell pepper, cut in strips
1/2 cup julienned carrot
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup peanuts (I like the Spanish redskins; roasted will do, also)

Steps:

  • Combine sauce ingredients thoroughly.
  • Toss cooked soba noodles (or spaghetti) with vegetables.
  • Add sauce and combine to coat everything.
  • (Since the flavors are so intense, I like my noodles a little on the"dry" side-- you can make this dish more"saucy" if you wish.) Add peanuts, adjust seasoning, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Cold Soba Noodles With Dipping Sauce image

In Japan, where it gets plenty hot in the summer, cold soba noodles, served with a dipping sauce, are a common snack or light meal. Soba are brown noodles, made from wheat and buckwheat, and the sauce is based on dashi, the omnipresent Japanese stock. You would recognize the smell of dashi in an instant, even if you have never knowingly eaten it. It's a brilliant concoction based on kelp, a seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It is also among the fastest and easiest stocks you can make, and its two main ingredients - which you can buy in any store specializing in Asian foods - keep indefinitely in your pantry. I would encourage you to try making it, though you can also use chicken stock (or instant dashi, which is sold in the same stores).
