Equipment:


Ingredients
One package soba noodles
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 head broccoli, steamed
1 red or green bell pepper, thinly sliced
sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, cilantro & chopped green onion for garnish

Directions
Prepare noodles as directed on package.

Drain noodles. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, water, grated ginger and garlic. Add to noodles and toss thoroughly to coat. If the sauce seems a little too thick, add some pasta water a tablespoon at
a time until it looks like it will blend nicely with the noodles and not glop.

Top generously with chopped peanuts, cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds, and steamed broccoli.

Eat hot or even chilled or room temperature. For a heartier meal, serve with a small bowl of miso soup.
