COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
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.

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.

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!
