Instructions
Instructions:
Spicy Peanut Sauce:
- Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. It will look grainy at first, then it will blend into a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Noodles:
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Set aside.
- While noodles are cooking, sauté the pork in 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. When it is nearly cooked through, add in the ginger, garlic, whites of the scallions, and Napa cabbage. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until cabbage softens.
- Turn off the heat. Add in the soba noodles and ½ of the spicy peanut sauce. Toss well to coat with the sauce. Add additional sauce as needed.
To serve:
- Divide the noodle mixture evenly between 4 bowls. Arrange the red bell pepper strips, carrots, and the green parts of the scallions in each bowl. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Drizzle additional spicy peanut sauce over the top. Serve with a lime wedge to squeeze on top.
- Enjoy!
