I've been wanting to find a good recipe for Cold Soba Salad. Finally today at the market, I recognize that I have all the ingredients (at the same time) for a Soba Salad! I have adjusted the dressing recipe so that next time, it'll be PERFECT!
INGREDIENTS:
1 package soba noodles, cooked as directed
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded in bite-sized pieces
Quickly blanch in boiling water, then shock in ice water:
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 lg handful sugar snap peas OR asparagus, sliced into bite sized pieces
1 bunch green onions (white and green parts) sliced thin, diagonally
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tblspn roasted/toasted sesame seeds OR use the black variety.
DRESSING:
4 Tblspns soy sauce
3 Tblspns rice wine vinegar
2 Tblspns peanut OR canola oil
1 Tblspn Asian sesame oil
1-1/2 Tblspns creamy peanut butter

Combine all (cooled) ingredients together. Sprinkle peanuts over individual plates just before serving. YUM!
