SOBA NOODLE-VEGETABLE SALAD
This salad is very lightly dressed, so as not to compete with the strong flavors of the Sate's peanut sauce.

SESAME SOBA NOODLE AND VEGETABLE SALAD
Steps:
- Toast sesame seeds in heavy small skillet over medium-low heat. Cool.
- Cook noodles in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse noodles under cold water until cool. Drain well; transfer to large bowl. Add both oils and toss to coat. Mix vinegar and all remaining ingredients into noodles. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
VEGETABLE SOBA NOODLE SALAD
This salad is fantastic served at room temperature or chilled. It's a perfect addition to a buffet or a main dish. It may be vegan, but it lacks nothing when it comes to flavor. The sauteed shiitakes add a wonderful umami flavor and the chile oil a touch of heat. Of course you can always add various kinds of protein. One of my favorite additions is grilled and sliced hanger steak. Like I said, it's not necessary, but it's up to you. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook the soba noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package instructions. (I prefer my soba noodles to be al dente, so I usually check the noodles one minute before the recommended doneness.) Rinse the noodles in cold water and drain for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and continue cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more oil as needed. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside.
- Make the salad dressing: Mix the rice vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, chile oil, garlic, ginger, and the remaining 4 tablespoons sunflower oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place the drained noodles in a large bowl along with the mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, scallions and 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the noodles and mix well until the dressing is evenly distributed. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top before serving.
