Cold soba noodles

Because of the heat wave, I’ve been making these cold soba noodles practically every other meal. It is similar to my Sesame and peanut sauce noodles, but it is a lighter and more refreshing version of it with soba! The recipe features Meyer lemons, which we’ve gotten from my sister-in-law’s front yard in her gorgeous sf home.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 Meyer lemon juiced (or use 2)
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • More water for adjusting to the consistency you like
  • 1 bunch of green onions
  • 2 bunches of soba noodles

Tips

  • Substitute Meyer lemons with rice vinegar, lime juice, or regular lemons. But it won’t taste as good. 😛

Instructions

  • Mix peanut butter, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of water, soy sauce, sugar together in a bowl until ingredients completely incorporated.
  • Add more water if you prefer a lighter sauce.
  • Chop the green onions.
  • Make the soba noodles according to the package. Rinse with cold water after cooking to prevent stickiness and to cool the noodles.
  • Place the cooked, cooled soba noodles in a bowl and drizzle the sauce on top.
  • Top it off with the chopped green onions.
  • Ready to serve!
