Ingredients

- 10 oz buckwheat soba noodles (uncooked)
For the Sauce:
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- ⅓ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (peeled, chopped)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey

- 1 medium carrot (peeled)
- 4 green onions (sliced)
- ½ cup dry-roasted peanuts (chopped, unsalted)
Instructions
- Place chicken in a large saucepan; add the 13 oz/ 385 ml broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from heat; let stand while preparing other ingredients. SKIP THIS STEP IF USING LEFTOVER CHICKEN.
- Combine ⅓ cup/ 75 ml broth, peanut butter, ginger, soy sauce, honey, red pepper (can be omitted if your preference is non-spicy,) and garlic; stir with a whisk until smooth.
- Cut snow peas in half, then blanche in about 1 cup boiling water for one minute. Remove from water and set aside.
- Shave (or grate) carrot lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
- Cook soba noodles according to the direction on package (will be ready in about 5 minutes.)
- While noodles are cooking remove chicken from broth and cut into bite sized pieces.
- Combine carrot, peanut sauce, chicken, snow peas and drained noodles in a large, heated bowl or pot; toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with onions and peanuts. Add a little sprinkle of hot pepper flakes if desired, and serve hot or cold.
Notes
- Use 2 tsp. reduced sodium Chicken Better than Bouillon with water if you do not have broth. You can also use vegetable broth instead.
