Cold Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce

Soba noodle salad. Why not? Peanut sauce. Oh Yeah !

In the hot summer weather, nobody likes to turn on the oven. So I decided to make this meal so that everyone will enjoy chilled.

Peanut Sauce 

This recipe can be made ahead of time for meal prep, but I would recommend storing the peanut sauce with the noodles to keep them moist. You may want to make a double batch of sauce and drizzle a little extra over your meal every day for an extra burst of flavor.

Salad Bowl 

Carbohydrate: Soba noodles made from Buckwheat. You can usually find them in the Asian/Oriental section of most grocery stores, They keep well as leftovers but are more flavorful than traditional pasta, which makes them a great ingredient for a noodle salad bowl.

P/S: Not all Buckwheat Noodles are gluten free, so if you are GF, please be sure to read the ingredients before you purchase.

Veggies: You can load with crunchy veggies like purple cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and cucumber.

Protein: If you’d like to add more plant based protein to this meal, feel free to add in some chopped tofu, tempeh, fried egg, or nuts.

Now that’s a meal!

Enjoy !
