COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Cold Noodle Salad With Spicy Peanut Sauce image

Soba, Japanese buckwheat noodles, are ideal for salads because they taste particularly great when served cold. Crunchy vegetables are highlighted here, adding lots of crisp, fresh texture. Substitute with any raw vegetables you have on hand, such as cabbage, carrot, fennel, asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower. The spicy peanut sauce is very adaptable: If you don't want to use peanut butter, you can use any nut or seed butter, like cashew, almond, sunflower or even tahini. Both the soba and the peanut sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight, but wait to combine them until you are ready to eat for the best texture and consistency. The peanut sauce thickens as it sits, so add a tablespoon or two of water to loosen it up, if necessary.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
10 ounces soba noodles
1 medium zucchini or cucumber (about 6 ounces)
5 radishes (about 4 ounces)
1 bell pepper (any color)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts (about 2 ounces), roughly chopped
2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
Handful of cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges for serving
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons chile oil or hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 garlic clove, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
  • Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
  • Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
  • When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.

Categories     Salad     Ginger     Nut     Pasta     Side     Quick & Easy     Peanut     Winter     Poker/Game Night     Bon Appétit     Japan     Dairy Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (do not use old-fashioned style or freshly ground)
1/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ounces linguine
1 large orange bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/2 cup chopped green onions
5 large lettuce leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Combine first 8 ingredients in small bowl; whisk to blend. Set dressing aside.
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta; rinse with cold water and drain again. Transfer pasta to medium bowl. Add bell pepper and green onions. Pour dressing over; toss to coat. Season salad with salt and pepper. Line serving bowl with lettuce leaves. Transfer salad to prepared bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Rice noodles, soba noodles, or udon noodles are all great options for this salad. Be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing. This will make them mushy and bland.
  • Season the salad to taste: Once you've assembled the salad, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, fish sauce, or chili flakes.

Conclusion:

This noodle salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The spicy peanut butter dressing is what really makes this salad special. It's creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy noodles, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
