Warm Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles Food

SPICY PEANUT SOBA NOODLE SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Puree sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add the peanuts last so you can control how chunky it is (I like to leave it a little more on the chunky side).
• Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper. When the chicken is cooked through, set aside until cool enough to handle and shred the meat.
• Chop the red pepper, cabbage, and cilantro to your desired size for the salad.
• Cook the noodles according to package directions (usually just boiling for a few minutes).
• Toss everything together with enough dressing to generously coat everything. Serve hot or cold!

WARM SPICY PEANUT SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Prepare peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, jalapeño, sriracha and 1/4 cup of water in a food processor, blender or mixing bowl (if using an immersion blender). Blend on high until smooth - adding additional water if needed.
• Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package instructions. Soba noodles should only take 4-6 minutes to cook. Be sure not to overcook them. Drain and set aside.
• Two minutes before noodles are finished cooking, heat remaining sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and cabbage and sauté for 2 minutes - making sure not to overcook (you want a little crunch).
• Turn heat off and add cooked noodles & peanut sauce to the pan. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick you can add 1/4 cup of water to the pan to help thin out the sauce and coat everything better.
• Serve noodles immediately and top with green onion, cilantro and peanuts.

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 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.
