Ingredients
  • 8 ounces soba noodles
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, peeled in strips and thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups lacinato kale, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, sliced on a diagonal
  • Sesame seeds, for serving
  • ½ cup well-stirred natural peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ cup filtered water
Directions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles and cook according to package directions.
  2. Drain noodles and rinse well under cold running water, making sure to separate the strands with your fingers to wash off all the excess starch.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, make the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, hot sauce, ginger, and garlic until completely smooth. Then add the water and whisk vigorously until combined.
  4. Place the cucumbers, bell peppers, kale, and scallions in a large bowl. Add the noodles and drizzle with the peanut sauce. Using tongs, mix until the noodles are evenly coated.
