Soba And Cole Slaw Salad With Peanut Dressing Food

ASIAN SLAW WITH GINGER PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing (be sure the peanut butter is dissolved). Set aside.
• Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and and toss well. Let the slaw sit for at least ten minutes so the vegetables have a chance to soak up the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add a bit more salt.) Serve cold. This slaw is best served fresh but leftovers will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The dressing can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time; store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

ASIAN COLESLAW WITH PEANUT BUTTER DRESSING

• Prepare your shredded vegetables (carrots and cabbage or bagged slaw product, not cilantro) in a large salad serving bowl.
• Next, in a small or medium mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger.
• Pour half of the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss the cabbage and carrots with the mixture and add the remaining as needed while tossing.
• Sprinkle in the cilantro.
• Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least an hour.
• Do not leave this in the refrigerator for longer than 24 hours. Top with optional seeds before serving.

SOBA SALAD

Steps:

COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
