CHICKEN AND MANGO SOBA SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING



Chicken and Mango Soba Salad With Peanut Dressing image

Japanese buckwheat noodles are usually served cold or in a hot soup, but here, they're given a bright jolt of color and texture. Delightfully chewy soba noodles are combined with chicken, mango, snap peas, cucumber and a spicy peanut dressing for a great warm-weather lunch that's also picnic-friendly. Serve it alongside any grilled meat or fish, or leave the chicken out to make it vegetarian. To make this ahead, prepare all the salad components in advance, but wait until serving time to combine to keep flavors and textures vibrant.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, noodles, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, natural or regular
1/4 cup hot water
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice (from 1 lime)
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
10 ounces sugar snap peas (about 2 cups)
8 ounces soba noodles
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 small or 1/2 large mango, peeled and thinly sliced
2 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced (or 1/2 English cucumber)
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
2 Fresno chiles, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Add sugar, if using, and stir. Set aside.
  • Drop the snap peas into the boiling water and cook until they just turn bright green, about 30 seconds. Using a mesh strainer or a spider (leave the water in the pot), transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain and slice each pea lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. Set aside.
  • Return water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool (if noodles get sticky, rinse again with cool water).
  • In a large serving bowl, toss noodles with the chicken, mango and peanut dressing. Add two-thirds of the snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles, reserving the rest for garnish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When ready to serve, top with remaining snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes. Look for mangoes that have a slight give when pressed and are free of blemishes. Avoid mangoes that are too soft or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of greens. This salad is a great way to use up any leftover greens you have on hand. Arugula, spinach, baby kale, and mixed greens all work well.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when cooked until it is just cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Serve immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The greens will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This warm chicken and mango salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salad a try.
