Рецепт Soba Noodle Bowl Recipe with Vegetables & Peanut Sauce {Vegan}
Dig right into these healthy soba noodle bowls, topped with vegetables and a light peanut sauce, for a quick and filling meal!
When I get together with fellow food-loving friends, we inevitably talk about our food weaknesses. You know, those things you can’t ever resist and would eat a tub full if nobody else was home. If I’m going to have a craving for a midnight snack – or a mid-afternoon binge – it’s not ice cream or chocolate that gets me worked into a salivary frenzy. Nope, it’s something savory, salty and a little spicy.
Soba noodles with soy sauce and cayenne pepper. I hear the siren call of that savory goodness and I’m done.
I don’t remember exactly when I first tried soba noodles, but I do remember that it was love at first bite. At the time, I had no idea that buckwheat, the main ingredient of soba noodles, was a good source of nutrients like manganese, lean protein, carbohydrates and thiamine. What I did know was that they could be ready in five minutes or less – a pre-requisite for midnight snacking – and tasted great with peanut sauce or just a glug of soy sauce.
The trick to elevating soba noodles from a bowl of carbs to a hearty meal that will satisfy your belly is adding plenty of veggies and some form of protein. In this recipe, the protein comes from some shelled edamame, as well as the soba noodles themselves, but you could also add chicken, beef, pork, tofu or shrimp. Soba noodles are an equal opportunity kind of noodle and will accept almost any kind of vegetable or protein source.
For the peanut sauce, I used natural peanut butter (I like Adams) because it doesn’t contain a list of unpronounceable ingredients or added sugar. We like the crunchy variety, which you can see in the photos of the sauce, but creamy will work just as well.
If you follow a gluten-free diet, be sure to find soba noodles that do not contain wheat (not all soba noodles are created equal) and substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
