Ingredients
-
1 lb soba noodles
-
3 tablespoons sesame oil (the oil is strong, don't add more)
-
4 tablespoons canola oil
-
6 tablespoons honey
-
6 tablespoons soy sauce
-
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
-
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
-
4 cups peas (frozen works fine)
-
16 green onions
-
1 1/2 cups cilantro, chopped coarse
-
5 red bell peppers, sliced thin and long
-
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
-
2 limes, cut in wedges for garnish
-
1 1/2 cups honey roasted peanuts (leave whole)
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water. Check cooking directions, soba noodles can cook literally in minutes. Drain pasta well. Let pasta dry a bit or water on the pasta will dilute the dressing.
- Whisk sesame oil, canola oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegars, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl to blend.
- Season with salt.
- Heat a few tablespoons of dressing in saute pan over medium high heat (be careful, dressing can burn easily).
- Add peppers to pan for about 2 - 3 minutes to ligtly soften, they should still be crunchy.
- Add all other ingredients to pasta along with remaining dressing. Mix salad well, you will probably need to use your hands.
- Garnish with lime wedges.
- Serve right away or chill as long as overnight.
- Add peas shortly before serving. If you add them too early they will turn a "lovely" shade of grey.
