Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken cutlets or tenders
1 pound soba noodles
1/2 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped)
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
2 teaspoons Chinese chile garlic paste (preferably Lan Chi) or Sriracha (Southeast Asian chile sauce) plus additional for serving
1/4 cup chopped scallions
Special Equipment
an adjustable-blade slicer with 1/4-inch julienne blade

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then cook in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl (drain any excess liquid), reserving water in pot.
  • Return water to a boil, then cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 4 to 8 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup noodle-cooking water and drain noodles in a colander. Rinse noodles under cold water to stop cooking, then drain well.
  • While noodles cook, cut cucumber lengthwise into julienne strips, slicing until you reach core, then rotating cucumber a quarter turn, continuing to slice and rotate until left with nothing but core. Pat dry.
  • Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and reserved cooking water until smooth.
  • Divide noodles among large serving bowls. Spoon about 1/4 cup peanut sauce over noodles in each bowl, then divide chicken, cucumber, and scallions among bowls. Serve immediately with remaining sauce and additional chile paste. Stir noodles just before eating.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would recommend adding some extra flavor to this recipe.

The peanut sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the soba noodles and chicken were cooked perfectly. I would try this recipe again with a thinner sauce.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used tofu instead of chicken and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
