How to Make Soba Noodles with Vegetables
Step #1: Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. I’d much rather make one big bowl of food and then sit cross-legged on my couch and stuff my face while watching Netflix. Noodle bowls are absolutely perfect for my style of food. I mean, who doesn’t like noodles? Step #2: Heat a small pan over medium and add the peanuts (no oil is needed). Toast, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove the peanuts from the pan and set aside. Step #3: Spiralize the sweet potato according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your model of spiralizer. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pan over medium. Add the sweet potato noodles and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and tender; about 10 minutes. Step #4: Meanwhile, boil the soba noodles according to package directions. Drain, toss with a tablespoon of sesame oil, then divide into four bowls for serving. Step #5: Remove the cooked sweet potato noodles from the pan and add to the serving bowls. Step #6: Immediately add the snow peas to the hot pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until browned. Transfer to the serving bowls. Step #7: Top each bowl with the prepared sauce, toasted peanuts, and garnishes of choice. Cooking Noodles and Vegetables: Don’t overcook the sweet potato noodles and snow peas. They should be tender but still have a bit of bite (al dente) to maintain their texture and nutritional value. To reheat, gently warm the noodles and vegetables in a pan or a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying.
