Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) soba noodles (100% buckwheat for gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (130 g) peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lime
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ medium cucumber, julienned
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp crushed peanuts (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes or chili paste to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz (225 g) soba noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 4 to 6 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep noodles separate.
  2. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking and cool them down. Set aside to drain well.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup peanut butter, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, and juice plus zest of 1 lime. Add water a tablespoon at a time if sauce is too thick until silky and smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Peel and dice the mango, julienne the cucumber, thinly slice the green onions, and roughly chop the cilantro.
  5. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled soba noodles with the peanut sauce, stirring gently to coat. Fold in mango, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro evenly.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. Add red pepper flakes or chili paste if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Cook soba noodles just until tender but still slightly firm. Rinse thoroughly with cold water to prevent mushiness. Adjust peanut sauce thickness with water gradually. Store noodles and sauce separately for best freshness. Use tamari and maple syrup for gluten-free and vegan versions. Substitute mango with peaches, nectarines, or pineapple if out of season.
