Ingredients
Scale
- 9.5oz soba (or favorite noodle)
- 1 tsp ginger paste *(see notes) or one 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
- 1 Tbs sesame oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional: sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, julienne carrots and peppers for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions, then drain off the water and set aside until ready to serve.
- Combine ginger, garlic, peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce and water in a blender and blend on high for 1 minute until creamy and smooth. There shouldn’t be any bits of ginger or garlic left.
- When you’re ready to serve, toss the noodles with the peanut sauce.
- Add additional garnish and toppings as desired or serve them as is for a great side dish.
Notes
- Ginger paste is not the same as dried ground ginger.
- Can be served warm or cold. If serving cold, don’t add the peanut sauce until just before serving since the noodles can tend to dry out as they absorb the sauce.
- If you end up with leftovers and you want to revive the sauciness after the dressed noodles have been refrigerated, just add a tablespoon of water to the noodles and stir.
