THAI NOODLE SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Following the packet instructions, soak the rice noodles in water until they are soft and ready to go in your salad.
• Thinly cut or shred the carrots, cabbage and cucumber. Cucumber can be left a bit bigger as it's softer.
• Heat some coconut oil in a pan and stir fry the tofu. When it starts to golden, add the soy sauce and maple syrup. Set aside to cool.
• Toast the peanuts in a pan. Don't add any oil as they need to be toasted not fried. Set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, prepare the dressing mixing the smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil and lime juice
• Combine the fresh ingredients, tofu, peanuts and noodles in a big salad bowl. Add the peanut dressing and mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Add chopped cilantro on the top and your salad will be ready to serve.

COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
• Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
• Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
• When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.
