Ingredients
- Salt
- One 1-pound package soba noodles
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter, preferably freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (see Cook’s Note)
- 1 tablespoon chili paste, preferably sambal oelek
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 2 mini English cucumbers, sliced or 1/2 large English cucumber, diced
- 2 carrots, julienned
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and place in a large mixing bowl.
- In a blender, combine the soy sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil, brown sugar and chili paste. Blend until the sauce is smooth and has a thick but pourable consistency. If it is too thick, add a tablespoon or 2 of hot water to thin. Add the sesame seeds and give it a quick pulse.
- Pour the sauce onto the noodles and mix thoroughly to coat. Mix in the scallions, cucumbers and carrots and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
