Cold Sesame Peanut Soba Noodles Recipe

Are you in yet ? I bet you probably have all the basic ingredients in your pantry right now, and If you don’t then get creative with what’s there because this is super adaptable. Don’t have coco aminos ? Use tamari, soy sauce or even ponzu. I know you got this!

Check this Peanut Sauce!

The only secret here is to toss your noodles with the sauce just before serving. This is important If you are after luscious, saucy noodles. However, everything can still be prepared in advance and stored in separate bowls in the refrigerator.

I kept it simple!
