Cold Vegan Soba Noodles With Peanut Sauce Recipes

COLD PEANUT SOBA NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and edamame and cook as the noodle label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the noodles and edamame and run under cold water until cool.
• Whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and chili sauce in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and whisk until smooth. Add the noodles and edamame, season with salt and toss to combine (add more cooking water to loosen, if needed). Divide among shallow bowls and top with the chicken, cucumber and scallions.

AMAZING PEANUT SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Ease soba noodles into water and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir until onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add carrots, red bell pepper, and half the scallions to the pan; cook and stir to desired tenderness, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix soy sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil, hot sauce, and brown sugar in a large bowl until peanut butter is incorporated. Add cooked soba noodles, cooked vegetables, and cucumber to the bowl; toss until fully combined with sauce. Add rice vinegar and toasted sesame seeds to the bowl, toss again. Chill for 30 minutes or more; garnish with remaining scallions and serve with lime wedges.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain, and quickly rinse under cold running water until cold. Drain well.
• Combine dashi or stock, soy sauce and mirin. Taste, and add a little more soy if the flavor is not strong enough. Serve noodles with garnishes, with sauce on side for dipping (or spooning over).

SOBA NOODLE COLD ROLLS WITH SPICY SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• For the rolls: Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water.
• Fill a large wide bowl with very warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water and allow it to soften for a few seconds. Then carefully remove it from the water.
• Top the wrapper with a piece of lettuce, a small handful of the soba, a few pieces of tofu, peach or mango, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
• Fold in the edges of the wrapper and roll up like a burrito, pressing edge to seal. Set aside into a reusable container lined with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
• For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the lime juice, sriracha, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame seeds and sesame oil.
• Store the rolls and sauce in resealable containers in the fridge until ready to serve, or portion out for lunch. Cut the rolls in half just before serving with the dipping sauce.

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.

COLD PEANUT SOBA NOODLES

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.
