A quick, fiber-rich, and antioxidant-packed Peanut Soba Noodle dish, loaded with crunchy veggies and creamy peanut sauce, perfect for a healthy, plant-based meal served warm or cold.
Prepare soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
Using a mandoline or chef knife, thinly slice the red bell pepper, red cabbage, and carrot.
Peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy or tamari sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and water until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more water as needed.
Combine everything: Add the cooked soba noodles and the peanut sauce to a bowl with the veggies. Toss everything together until well coated.
Garnish and serve: Divide the noodles into bowls, sprinkle with peanuts and sesame seeds, and serve with a little extra sauce or chili paste on the side if you like a bit of heat.
Notes
You can serve this dish warm or cold. If serving cold, rinse the soba noodles under cold water after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
Meal prep tip: This recipe is great for meal prep! Store the noodles and veggies separately from the sauce for the freshest results, and toss them together right before serving.
Feel free to add extra veggies like cucumbers or edamame for added crunch and protein.
If you are gluten-free, make sure the noodles dont contain wheat!
Storage:
The Peanut Soba Noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavor will deepen as it sits, but the vegetables may soften slightly over time.
For the best texture, add fresh peanuts or sesame seeds just before serving if stored for later.
