Ingredients
- 180 g soba noodles 2 bundles
- 1 carrot large, cut into strips or julienned
- 2 lebanese cucumbers cut into strips of julienned
- 1 red capsicum small, cut into thin strips
- 1 yellow capsicum small, cut into thin strips
- 1 ½ cups chicken chopped, cooked
- 5 spring onions finely sliced
- 1 cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup peanut toasted and chopped
Peanut Dressing:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 lime juice squeezed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup canadian
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons ginger finely chopped or grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- water to thin
Instructions
Method:
- For the dressing: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or small jog, except the water. The dressing will be quite thick, gradually add a teaspoon of water at a time, then whisk and check the consistency. You want to thin it out, but not too much that it makes the salad too wet. Set aside.
- Place a medium-sized saucepan on high heat. Bring to a boil, then add the soba noodles and cook for no longer than 3 minutes (they become soggy if you overcook them). Drain, run under cold water and set aside.
- To assemble the salad: In a large bowl, add the cooked soba noodles, carrot, cucumber, red capsicum, and yellow capsicum. Cooked chicken, spring onion, coriander, mint and peanuts. Drizzle over half the dressing and then toss through. Add more dressing little by little, until the salad is coated, but not dripping (you may have some dressing left over). You can garnish with some more fresh coriander and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
If you have extra peanut dressing left over, store it in a screw-top jar and will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
