Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Creamy Soba Noodles Success
- Variations
- Rinse noodles after boiling to stop cooking process and prevent overcooking.
- Soak noodles in cold water to remove excess starch, which causes the noodles to clump and stick together.
- Add warm water to peanut sauce which will loosen the sauce and prevent it from getting clumpy.
- Add more vegetables to bulk up this dish. Some of our personal favorites are: thinly sliced carrots, thinly sliced bell peppers, and thinly sliced and sautéed shiitake mushrooms. We also love thinly sliced cucumbers and a handful of arugula (both which should be added right before serving).
- Brighten up the peanut sauce by stirring in a teaspoon of minced ginger and a minced garlic clove.
- Add some heat by mincing and stirring a teaspoon of jalapeno into the peanut sauce. OR by adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of an asian-style chili sauce to the peanut sauce.
- Swap almond butter in place of the peanut butter (1:1), for a slightly healthier option or for a peanut allergy.
