There is something so incredibly satisfying about cold peanuty noodles. They’re salty, sweet, and if I have my way, spicy. Paired with fresh s&p cucumbers and pulled grilled chicken, they’re a fantastic and tasty alternative to your typical summer salad menu. Normally I eyeball my measurements for this dish but have more or less tacked it down to estimates for recording purposes - so please keep in mind, these numbers are flexible.
Nutty Noodles
- 1/2 cup Chunky Peanut Butter
- 2 TBS Seasoned Rice Vinegar (or less to taste)
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
- 2 cups Soba Noodles (cooked and chilled)
- Salt
- Oil, Sesame or Olive or whatever you have on hand
- Sriracha (optional)
Boil soba noodles according to package, salt liberally and toss with a quick splash of oil before chilling to at least room temperature.
Heat honey in microwave for 15 seconds in a large bowl.
Whisk in peanut butter, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Add in TBS of water until sauce reaches desired consistency.
Toss with cold soba noodles, chill.
Top with fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, or peanuts. Add Sriracha to taste, if you dare.
