COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Cold Noodle Salad With Spicy Peanut Sauce image

Soba, Japanese buckwheat noodles, are ideal for salads because they taste particularly great when served cold. Crunchy vegetables are highlighted here, adding lots of crisp, fresh texture. Substitute with any raw vegetables you have on hand, such as cabbage, carrot, fennel, asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower. The spicy peanut sauce is very adaptable: If you don't want to use peanut butter, you can use any nut or seed butter, like cashew, almond, sunflower or even tahini. Both the soba and the peanut sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight, but wait to combine them until you are ready to eat for the best texture and consistency. The peanut sauce thickens as it sits, so add a tablespoon or two of water to loosen it up, if necessary.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
10 ounces soba noodles
1 medium zucchini or cucumber (about 6 ounces)
5 radishes (about 4 ounces)
1 bell pepper (any color)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts (about 2 ounces), roughly chopped
2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
Handful of cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges for serving
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons chile oil or hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 garlic clove, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
  • Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
  • Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
  • When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.

COLD SESAME NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT DRESSING



Cold Sesame Noodle Salad With Spicy Peanut Dressing image

This wonderful Asian noodle salad is from "Perfect Party Food" by Diane Phillips, who is known as the Do-Ahead Diva. I've attended cooking classes taught by Ms. Phillips and she is an awesome cook and instructor. I love the way she provides Do-Ahead tips throughout the recipe instructions. I have all her cookbooks, but in my humble opinion, Perfect Party Food (a James Beard Award winner) is her best.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb linguine, cooked until al dente and drained
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (don't use natural)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 cup snow peas, strings removed
6 scallions, white parts, thinly sliced on the diagonal
4 carrots, cut into matchsticks (2 cups)
1/4 cup peanuts, dry-roasted, chopped
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook and drain pasta, toss with 1 T. of the sesame oil. **Do-Ahead Tip: cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
  • In a blender or food processor, process together the remaining 1 T. sesame oil, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth. Taste for soy and sugar. **Do-Ahead Tip: refrigerate up to 3 days. Let come to room temperature and whisk before using.
  • Microwave the snow peas on High or plunge into boiling water for 1 minute. Shock in ice water, pat dry, and cut in half on the diagonal. **Can omit this step if they are young and tender.
  • Add the snow peas, scallions, carrots, 2 T. of the peanuts, and 1 T. of the sesame seeds to the linguine. Pour half of the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. **Do-Ahead Tip: cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
  • One hour before serving, remove the salad from the refrigerator and toss with more dressing if needed. Garnish with the remaining 2 T. of peanuts and 1 T. of sesame seeds.
  • Note from contributor - I omit the 2 T. vegetable oil and use water in it's place. The dressing is a bit thinner, but healthier. Additions I enjoy: 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, several radishes - slivered, red pepper flakes for some "heat", and chopped red pepper for their vitamins and a splash of color.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use crisp vegetables, flavorful herbs, and a creamy, tangy peanut sauce.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and bland.
  • Chill the noodles before serving: This will help them to stay firm and flavorful. You can chill them for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Make the peanut sauce ahead of time: The peanut sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs and peanuts: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

Cold noodle salad with spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and creamy peanut sauce, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
