Looking for an ultra easy dinner that also happens to be vegan? These 15-minute peanut soba noodles are the perfect answer. With a sauce quickly whisked together from pantry staples and a garnish of fresh green things (cucumber, cilantro, and scallions), it’s a flavorful and texture-rich bowl of noodles you can feel great about eating—and make even when you’re exhausted.
Note: Soba noodles are easy to overcook, so see a tip on how to avoid that.
Variations: Add tofu or even meat if you’d like a more substantial topping, and try other herbs and veggies you may have hanging around.
If you have a few more veggies in the crisper drawer, try our Asian Peanut Noodles recipe, and for another way to serve soba, try our Soba Noodles with Swiss Chard-Miso Pesto recipe.
