This Soba Noodle Salad with Spicy Peanut Sauce is a healthy gluten-free and vegan recipe that is easy to make. It’s loaded with ingredients like cucumber, carrots and red cabbage and topped off with sliced green onions and sesame seeds!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces soba noodles
- 1/2 cucumber, spiralized or cut into strips
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1 large carrot, sliced or shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- Cilantro to top (optional)
Spicy Peanut Sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp tamari (can sub soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (can sub lime juice)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (can sub agave, honey)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tsp sriracha
Instructions:
- Cook the noodles according to package directions.
- While the noodles cook, prepare the peanut sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients together.
- Once the noodles are cooked, rinse them under room temperature water to slightly cool them down slightly, then add them to a mixing bowl with the rest of the salad ingredients.
- Toss the soba noodle salad and peanut sauce together until combined.
- Optionally top with some extra sesame seeds, green onions and cilantro.
Notes:
Shred the vegetables into small pieces so they can easily be evenly distributed throughout the salad. You can also buy pre-shredded vegetables to save you some time.
Use toasted sesame seeds. (or if you have raw ones, toast them) Toasted sesame seeds have a much more rich flavour than raw ones.
If your peanut sauce is too thick, add a touch more water to thin it so it can be mixed in the salad more easily.
