Veggie + Soba Noodle Salad With Peanut Sauce in a Jar
Serves 4
Ingredients for the noodles
- soba noodles for 4, cooked
- 1 large beetroot
- 1 yam or sweet potato
- 1 large zucchini
Ingredients for the sauce
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1-inch cube of fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (if you don't have this, it tastes just fine without it)
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- ¼ cup + 2 to 4 tablespoons water
Garnishes (optional)
- cilantro, roughly chopped
- roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- chopped jalapeños
- wedge of lime
Preparation
1. Cook soba noodles according to package instructions.
2. While the soba noodles are cooking, prepare the veggies by either using a spiralizer, or if you don't have one, you can simply use your vegetable peeler to create thick "fettuccine-style" strips.
3. Throw the dressing ingredients into a blender until smooth, adding more water until it becomes runny enough.
4. Add the desired amount of dressing to the bottom of the jar, followed by the soba noodles and then the veggies, pressing down to get as much as you can into the jar.
4. Top with chopped cilantro and peanuts and seal tightly.
5. When ready, pour into a bowl, mix together, and enjoy! Will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.
