Ingredients
For the Sesame Peanut Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter creamy
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 4 tablespoons sesame oil toasted
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
For the Pasta:
- 12 ounces soba noodles or whole wheat spaghetti; cooked and cooled to room temperature or refrigerated
- 9 ounces chicken cooked and diced; about 2 cups
- 1 red bell pepper small, seeded and chopped
- 1 cucumber seedless English variety; chopped
- 2 green onions chopped
- ½ cup carrot grated
- 1 cup white mushrooms sliced, fresh
- ½ cup peanuts dry roasted, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- For the sauce, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- For the salad, combine all ingredients (except for the peanuts) in a large bowl. Pour HALF of the sauce over top and toss to coat. Reserve remaining sauce for garnish. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, garnish noodles with chopped peanuts and toss or drizzle with additional sauce.
Notes
- Tip: I like to boil the noodles in advance and keep them in a covered container in the refrigerator until I’m ready to assemble the salad. In order to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other, run them under cold water in a colander as soon as you drain them from the pot. This will rinse off a lot of the sticky starch. I also like to drizzle the noodles with a little bit of oil and give them a toss before stashing them in the refrigerator.
- Cooking Just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half! The instructions remain the same.
